don’t look back too far
or pierce the veils too deeply . . .
you might see enough
enough

“enough” makes it interesting, yes. makes one wonder how much, exactly, WOULD enough be?
“too much” is more predictable… makes sense… and also sounds good….
so, depends if you are looking to make more of a point, or a mystery?
what about…
“you might hurt yourself”
?
that would just be the honest truth in my case. LOL ;)
If I write another haiku with the third line “you might hurt yourself” then I will give you coauthorship! :)
Hello, Chris G. This haiku morphed a little bit :) At first I ended it with “too much” and then I changed that to “enough.”
I thought the second ending was more interesting for a haiku. What do you think? And thanks for the comment, btw…
Curiosity killed the cat, after all.
