They're just like raw eggs still at that point, only the white is a little thicker and stays together. The one minute boil is to make your eggs, which are not always perfectly fresh, act more like they were laid that morning. After a 1 minute soft boil, you just crack them open like normal and poach.

However, since I buy mine in bulk (they last for weeks in the fridge), I use another trick, I use a one minute soft boiled egg to poach with. Soft boiling an egg for one minute still leaves the egg essentially raw, but it starts to fix the colloid enough that the egg sticks together better in the poaching liquid.
