it takes 4 minutes
to boil water
over an open flame
enough to fill a cup
to fool my brain
it is only hot water
but i do not know it
3 days and 4 minutes
it always took too long
to make love to you
the work of hours
not like with the others
where it was the work
of only minutes
why were you
so inconvenient
of all people
so greedy
of all my time
and why now
are you still here
not giving me
a minute of peace
to drink a cup
of hot water
