Thoughts on the stupidity of trying to use social media for something useful.  Header image courtesy Alisha Mishra (licensing).

When writing and changing something
Big time
I like to take a moment
To cleanse the mind
A sorbet between courses
As it were
A quick visit to social media
Before coming back
With fresh eyes
That’s the idea
But the sorbet social media
Would be
Is one full of gravel
As the best case
Dog shit, blood and vomit
The worst
Pubic hairs a floss
On the endless stream
Of dross
And you know what
When it isn’t
Those rare miniscule moments
Then it’s someone doing
Something instead
Getting on
Moving ahead as in
Perambulating
Only to serve as reminder
Of my
Procrastinating
