Five Easy Venoms

I

Sleeping till the sex has completely left me
the minutes turn to hours
days incestuous as ants
The tick of a second rolls over
like a machine that makes hot headaches
the change of time scalps peace

II

waiting for the world to agree with a lemon
the lemon at the end of history
the lemon which is the very same
that was sucked at the beginning of reality
and that we all are waiting to suck
except for those we point out that can’t suck a good lemon

III

The first thing being the most familiar
is usually not good enough
and requires a firm scratch through
for those who have had enough of first things
who are annoyed by first things
and should find better things to do

IV

It should be unquestionable
at interrogations
to
not

allow
multiple
choice

V

When does this end?
When can my happiness be difficult next?
