Baby Jack

Deluxe, Jumbo, Colossal
Enough?

Single shot, Double dip, triple scoop
Enough?

Super-charged, Turbo-charged, Out-ta sight,
Enough?

Stainless steel, granite counters, iron gate,
Enough?

Women’s Club, Community Club, Country Club,
Enough?

Free credit, zero down, cash rebate,
Enough?

Stock funds, tax-free funds, retirement funds,
Enough?

Swaying palms, gin and tonics, too green lawns,
Enough?

Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower, Twin Towers,
Enough?

Honey breath
Silk tendrils
Velvet folds
Sapphire caverns
Crystal peace
Embossed Gold
on the flanks of my heart

Enough.

Perfect in every way, much as I imagine Baby Jack must be. You are an artist with words. I love the cadence and questions. I adore the answer. Enough indeed!

Such beauty in your words. The way you use questions leading to what is really important in this life. Baby Jack, in ever way, is enough. And that is how it should be. Simply poetic and magical.
