ON THE ISLANDS

Why did you come here?
I came to change the world.

And what did you expect?
Not the world to change me.

There is trouble everywhere.
Enough. There is nothing more to talk of.

But there is. There always is.
Sometimes you hear differently.
You hear what others cannot.

Can you explain that riddle to me?
No, for they are not riddles.
They are more of the same.

There is trouble everywhere.
Maybe you can help?
Enough. There is nothing more to talk of.

Maybe you are right. But still—
I no longer know why I came here.

Enough is sometimes enough.
