There’s something funny
Underneath all of this
Mostly mild and
Occasionally brutal agony.
There’s something to ponder
Under the piles of flotsam and jetsam
The mishmash of banana peel and mush…
Most of us grow up
with the idea
that it is never enough.
Whatever you do
Whatever you achieve
it is almost, but not quite.
The feeling
of not enough
Seeps into everything,
Fills in the cracks,
Making everything appear…
