Superfluous (September)


So much that is superfluous. News, opinions, demands. How to reduce superfluous, how to save time. As though reduction results in declutter, unclutter, simplicity. All that time spent deleting superfluous. So much time! Superfluous to requirements, in the circumstances superfluous and extraneous. How anything not meeting desire, anyone extra to expectations, extra to the time expended, is superfluous. Not superlative, but supernumerary. September already? Where’s the year go? Imagine then having nothing at all. Super flumina Babylonis. Even the most superfluous gift is sufficient. Food is enough for survival. A kindness is solace. Someone speaks your name, like a song.
