Useless Things

Why do I invest myself in useless things?

Perhaps that, in itself, is the reason.

Useless things are low-hanging fruit.

Nature made me inclined to sloth.

Nature made useless things edible,

But also made them exceedingly prolific.

So, with no other exceptional skills, 

I am guilty as charged.

A stalker and purveyor of useless things.

Scavenging for useless things becomes acceptable.

Am I advocating quantity over quality?

I hope not. 

But it sure sounds like it to me.

Does it sound like I’m making excuses?

I hope not.

But it sure sounds like it to me.
