Good Enough
What are you expecting? What do you desire?
What are you affecting? What do you inspire?
What are you correcting? What do you disband?
What are you perfecting? What do you demand?
What are you detecting? What do you extract?
What are you collecting? What do you attract?
What are you neglecting? What do you beset?
What are you respecting? What do you beget?
What are you electing? What do you betray?
What are you reflecting? What do you convey?
What are you rejecting? What do you rebuff?
What are you erecting? What is good enough?
