If Less Is More

If less is more
how much more
will it take
to make nothing?

One’s self-knowledge
must be told
monosyllabically.

If less is more
brief is the life
of flatulence.

If less is more
terse the maid’s
toil at the toilet.

To say
nothing
too much
is as vulgar
as goatshit.

If less is more
how much
more or less
is nothing?

Of the sages
of long ago
the coin fits
seven no more.

If less is more
how do you know
you’ve had enough?
