by what unit is good enough measured
is it the calluses and cuts on a hand
the crack of a sore back
or by the number of times
skin meets pavement
is it an neglected apartment
the dust collecting on beloved projects
or number of friends
no longer waiting for a reply
tell me
to whom do you bottle your blood for
till when do you wash the sweat off
for what do you owe this pain
so where is the limit
will I/they ever be satisfied
can i take a break yet
or is this not good enough
