Too Many, But Not “Good Morning”

What is a word you feel that too many people use?

There are words we use every day.

In the morning, when we meet friends or family,

we say, Good morning.

It never feels like too many,

because it has no agenda — only warmth.

What truly feels too many to me

are those half-content news headlines.

“US Tariff on Taiwan Revealed”

“Government Leader Outraged Over Certain Event”

Half the sentence spoken,

the other half left hanging for clicks.

They’re not really trying to tell you something —

they just want you to stop what you’re doing,

and hand over your attention.

Once, twice, three times…

until we get used to being baited,

used to searching for wholeness in fragments,

used to looking for truth in noise.

I imagine, if one day

too many itself became a headline,

it would probably read—

“Writer Feels Too Many About the Flood of Modern Information.”

And then you’d click in, only to find this piece,

which really just wants to say—

Good morning.
