Analysis of Enough



I’m young enough
and old enough

And smart enough
and dumb enough

And rich enough
and poor enough

To laugh enough
and cry enough

But fast enough
and slow enough

To guess enough
and know enough

To take enough
and give enough

To think enough
—and feel enough

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
