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.
