ABOUT ENOUGH

I would like to overcome addiction
to the tape loop muttering ruminations,
the hunched over thoughts steeping stewing
brewing chattering discontent in myself

I would like to overcome
the contaminated feeling that wants
to smother itself in dopamine brownies,
cookies, hurried white and yellow ramblings
gnoshing through the cupboards

Overcome the hungry ghost
in me, happy it
in better
ways

When I do, the moments I
do make good decisions, better, sure…
there’s a sense of loss, like I’ve
gotten on the train
without some desired
item like a security blanket
or favorite doll

It’s like that game of trust
falling backwards into friends’ hands
letting concerns go
letting the sugar starch rest uneaten
or eaten by others

I shouldn’t worry
I shouldn’t hoard

This season will provide
enough

The seasons will continue to provide
enough

  1. I love this…. I think in one way or another we all suffer from wanting something that we think will sooth our hearts or souls and think “grasping” is the remedy. And clinging doesn’t bring security…. trust does. The perception you have here of trusting others and also trusting ourselves is a very good one.

    As Steve said.. I love this on multiple levels.. it is very wise as well as a good poem.
