Totally Useless – 9th August 2026

it’s not not fun
when it’s not happening to me
from non-diplomatic tweets
to expletive-laden threats
made for anyone to see.

he’s not totally useless
he can be used
as a terrible example—
the world’s most anticipated
obituary.

Written for dVerse MTB – negation. Lines 6,7 & 8, I believe, were made by someone here as a comment on another’s poem but I forgot who it was. It was too funny to let go and not use it.


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Stick With Just The Facts

Your brain likes to add extra information
To complicate even the simplest acts
Growing assumption and then expectation
It’s better to stick with just the facts
