burden of proof

the quest for quality never ends.
the good stuff, that's what they want.
people just want the really good stuff.
the highest-quality goods.
the best emotional state of being.
the happiest of all the possible
states of happiness.
the quest for all of that stuff is nearly endless.
until, one day, one just quietly, calmly,
and, sometimes all at once,
gives up. lays down the load.
stops trying. ceases and
desists. accepts the fact that
good-enough, while not
necessarily the best, is
in fact good-enough, and
that good-enough,
is pretty dern good.
for instance,
the sexy big-dicked teenage boy
now sits by a stream,
on a nice smooth gray rock,
watching the water.
it's not the prettiest stream nor
the prettiest water
that the sexy big-dicked teenage boy
has ever seen, but the stream
and the water are pretty enough.
it's not the smoothest nicest rock
that the sexy big-dicked teenage boy
has ever sat on, but it's pretty nice.
the sexy big-dicked teenage boy
sighs, grins a goofy kind of
grin, and sprouts
a big insistent hardon underneath
his jeans. he takes off his clothes,
all of them, everything, then he
lies back on the rock, totally
naked, and stares
up at the sky,
and tugs a while on his big
hard thick dick until he
spurts a nice load of cum.
it drenches his belly and chest. it's
a big load of cum alright, but it's
not the biggest load he's ever fired off.
and it's not the best orgasm he's ever had.
but it's sure a good-enough orgasm, and it'll do.
the sexy naked big-dicked teenage boy
has indeed grown up into a fine
clear-thinking young adult.
not the finest young adult in the land.
and not the most clear-thinking either.
but he's happy with
how he's turned out, all things
considered, lying there
naked and pretty on that rock, his
big dick smooth and thick and still mostly erect.
yep, he's okay. he's got a good
bod with a good dick. not the
best bod in the world, and maybe
not the best dick in the world. but
he's okay. in fact,
he's like miracle whip right out of
the jar, it's not the best mayo in
the world, but it's good enough,
smooth, gentle, okay on a sandwich,
a good-enough sandwich
made from ripe-enough cheeses,
and totally acceptable meat.
