is this enough?

August 28, 2021 / by Matt Pucci / Leave a Comment

I measure my days

In steps

Counted by a device

Which steals my time

In rapidly increasing

Increments

Are 10,000 steps enough?

Is three hours of screen-time

Too much?

I’m not even watching porn!

(It’s all porn

really.)

It makes me wonder:

Did I ever watch

This much TV

Or care

About the plight of a people

To quite this extent?

What can I do?

Should I switch off?

Or simply donate

To one of the many charities

Which are doing the work

I wish I could do

The question is not

How much can I afford

But how much will offset

The discomfort I feel

Every time I read

About the ones they’ve left behind.
