Who's Man's is Dis?
(not enough)

by Richard W. Saunders

too much when I write
too much when I don't
too much when I call
too much when I won't
too much when I'm happy
too much when I'm sad
too much when I'm caring
too much when I'm mad
too much when I'm thinking
too much when I'm not
too much when I'm drinking
too much when I'm fraught

too much in the shadow
too much in the light
too much in the wrong
too much in the right
too much in the shallows
too much in the deep
too much in the weeds
too much in my sleep
too much in forgiveness
too much in my dread
too much in the stillness
too much in my head

too much for my family
too much for my friends
too much for my neighbors
too much for pretend
too much for the quiet
too much for the loud
too much for the sheepish
too much for the proud
too much for the world
too much for some help
too much for forgiveness
too much for myself
