How many of us
Upon reflection and review
Of mirror pantry account
Shelf home and garage
Of love sex and affection
Friends expression and popularity
See scarcity and nots
Not enough not exactly
And not anywhere near
Not right not near(ly)
And certainly not long
That silly little word
Always makes almost everything
Into a woeful nothing
What if by not notting
By unnoting the ball
That you call life
You have plenty more
Much more in fact
Than you’ll ever need
Let the have nots
Keep their nots tightly
Notted misery loves company
