The Armless Tics: Stewart Stafford’s 12-Line Anti-Epic on WWI Trauma
The Armless Tics by Stewart Stafford
Never again, the blustering brass said,
Inked in blood, my generation dead,
Human meat carved with lunatic aplomb,
No cowering allowed from gun or bomb.
Lice, rats, and mud—war zeal’s reality.
Trench foot and poisoned-gas lethality,
Churned hellscape, where no man can be,
Scribbling letters home to preserve sanity.
The artillery’s heartbeat, now silent, aghast,
Shells ra

“Three-Ring Circus by Stewart Stafford
First love's doubtless light, Blinded with scorching might, What little a cloudy eye allows, Passion's seal on supple brows. Resplendent in our united phase. Love's incandesence in full blaze, No one else existed, gazes locked, Past emptiness, amnesia-blocked. Now we pass on a muted, wintry street, Joyless crime, sounds of splashing feet, Pained awareness, eyes to the ground, Mourners part bereft of sorrow's sound. © 2025, Stewart Stafford.

“The Outer Wastes by Stewart Stafford
Echoes across the cosmos Supernovae of Gemini suns, Truth storms of meteor showers, Coronas flashing frigid guns. Spinning stone bedrock cracks, A diaspora exiled to the void, Interstellar offspring pushing Sentience for the ultra-paranoid. Pandora's black hole gifts, Astrologer spins a cosmic warning, Scrubbing up, celestial enlightenment, Serpentine Adam's apple ripe for boring. © 2026, Stewart Stafford.

“Stafford’s Law of Irreversible Entropy states: A system that achieved a perfect champagne alignment in its own era cannot be shoehorned back in once the environment has evolved or degenerated beyond it. This is the Staffordian Duality; it is immaterial whether global prospects improved or deteriorated; it only matters that the metric mirror of the past no longer reflects the current modern sinkhole. The most overcrowded vessel is the one that sails on the golden sea of memories.”

“When you choose to look down on something, you render yourself incapable of understanding it.”

“Do not weep for those who have found Death's embrace early, for they weep for us that linger on in this mortal world of pain.”
―
―
“Anyone who dies by their own hand always has my sympathy. It's easy to sit in judgement on another's struggle from the outside without ever living in their suffocating darkness. If there is an explanation left behind, it usually confirms how relentlessly harsh and unfair they were on themselves. Mourn their release with mercy and gratitude for doing what they were capable of in their short lives.”

“Though we come and go, and pass into the shadows, where we leave behind us stories told — on paper, on the wings of butterflies, on the wind, on the hearts of others — there we are remembered, there we work magic and great change — passing on the fire like a torch — forever and forever. Till the sky falls, and all things are flawless and need no words at all.”

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
― The Essential Groucho: Writings For By And About Groucho Marx

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”
