Poem List

Plenty?

Plenty is enough and enough is as good as a feast but a feast, or even plenty, does not mean there is surplus.

But I only want a bite, and you did say you had plenty?

And your bite will mean there is no longer plenty and no longer enough for a feast

But I can see what you have, surely you can spare some?

There is plenty, which is balance. Surplus is not balance. There is never any surplus while ever there is balance.

I'll redress the unbalance next time I see you, I'll pay you back.

And where will you pay me back from.

From the goodness of my heart, you can trust me.

Trust is not the issue here. Again I ask, where will what you pay me back with come from?

From ...

Yes. From?

I suppose ... it will come from you.
