DUST
DUST
The dust has settled in a thin layer
Fine at least in its tiny particle size
But not fine, as it indicates neglect
Almost white with a touch of grey
Speckled with miniscule dark spots
So ignorant of the effect it creates
Yet despite it all, more will accrue
Unless and until, breezes may blow
That will disturb the localised air
And nasal passages too, in a sneeze
Accidental, yet showing contempt
For all that lies there, merely as dirt
Found in crevices and on surfaces
Whether disturbed or otherwise
Can still persist, but in its own time
