Enough is a Good Thing
Enough of the heat, the clinging clothes damp and as effective for baking and retaining juices as foil in the oven. Enough of the thick, wheezing humidity of yet another breath. Enough of capitalist saints and all the other unoriginal sinners clambering up from the pit of because, clamoring for an angel dusted slice of the rancid old pie in the sky. Enough of the quasi-mystical bullshit and the crap monkeys. Enough of the warm soda that was cold only five minutes ago. Enough of the dog days and the catcalls and the birdbrains. Enough of the short tempers of long days. Enough of ennui, apathy, and bored stupidity. Enough of baseless religion and debased politics. Enough of hunger and uncertainty. Enough of debt. Enough driving back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, … fack and borth…. Fucking hell. Enough. Enough! ENOUGH! Enough of the dreamless silence, the suffering through thin hours of anemic disillusionment as the big hand and the little slowly wrap around the heart, choking it with relentless anxiety. Enough missing what never came to be; enough missing what did. Enough wishing that wishing mattered. Enough feeling faint beneath the weight of all the beauty “out there” — out of reach, among and amongst the stars, in the abyss of infinity. Enough of the sore throat and the repressed tears, the sublimated anger, the diverted stress, the deferred break down. Enough of bad stars and goat songs.
Time will never give up its triumph over the ephemeral. Nothing good or bad can stay. Everything passes, and in this way the universe goes. So it goes. Gonzo.
