Enough Said turns a rough country-music invocation into a blunt credo: if there is a God, the fitting voice belongs to Jonny Cash.

The page works through compression and naming. The misspelled or roughened references keep it from feeling polished, but that is part of its force: it treats voice, authority, and divinity as matters of tonal truth rather than doctrine.

The first stanza issues plain marching orders - 'Do it all / Go ahead / Look back or not' - attributed to 'Merl Hagert', placing country fatalism in the speaker's mouth. The turn comes in the theological punchline: 'If there is a God; / the voice / gotta be / Jonny Cash', settling divinity as a question of timbre, and giving the collection's Sinatra-to-Christ axis a Bakersfield accent.
