There’s a limit
To the amount of salt
You can put in food and still enjoy it.
Past a certain point
If you add more salt
Your tongue will curl and
Your stomach churn.
Some things should not
Be done in excess.
Excess salt doesn’t make up for
A meal poorly prepared
And excess words don’t make up for
Weak storylines,
Or star studded cast
Make up for a blandly scripted film,
Or an additional degree
Compensate for a career lacking direction,
Or more money invested to cover up
A failing business model,
Or cute selfies and expensive gifts
For a relationship in decline.
Salt is good
But it has its limits.
