Dust

as random as I can be....

Dust
I see you!
Everywhere
You have invaded my life.

You have draped yourself across the bookcase
Curled up between the rungs of the dinning room chairs
You,all your family and all your friends
Have squatters rights beneath the bed.

I sit here and draw a path
Through you on the console table

stirring you up addles my nose and brings tears to my eyes.
Damn you! I must be rid of you once and for all!

What is the sense? You’ll only return tomorrow.
I can’t afford to hire out
And Lord knows I’d rather write about you
Than actually do something about you.

What are you anyways? Where do you come from?

Oh, nope can't go there, I will freak myself out big time!
Why don't I give you the boot?
Maybe I’ve realized that we are kindred spirits
And the old adage  of “dust to dust” makes me
Think that you and I share some kind of cosmic connection
Nah!
I’m just being lazy!
Where is that cloth and Pledge?

The happiest moment of human life will offer good sense of longivity. You make others to smile and make good thinking. The quality of writing such thoughtful and funny are the gift to the writers like you. My best wishes. Be happy and cheerful. With regards.

I wrote this for a contest for "random things" this is as random as I could think of at the moment I was probably writing a poem rather than cleaning the dust off my desk>

This made me smile. I always notice the dust more on sunny days,when the last thing you want to do is get rid of it. A cleaner friend of mine ironically told me that a spotless house is a sign of a wasted life :)

I love this, but I hate dust. I am always going at it with the pledge and the clothe. :)

the dust may be hiding your darkest secrets , leave it where it is and go and sink a jar or two .

Haha, very cute! I love the humor, especially at the end where you seem to give into it and go off to clean. This was a really good read, keep up the good work!

Lol, this is very Interesting....I didn't think anything about dust could be entertaining. Very original, very creative...why bother getting the pledge, it'll just come back within a few weeks.
