Surface Dust Poetry
The poetic endeavour
Is made up of surface debris
Previously it collected in corners
And was blown about
Sometimes blowing into my face
But now I sweep it up
Form it into semi neat piles
And kick it outwards
The kicking is not the best idea
I get some blow back from that
But those neat piles cheer me up
I can't imagine wading through
Day after day again
Blinkered to the mess
No longer just beneath my feet
Becoming unwadable
When my neat little piles of surface dust
Get a passing comment
I get a little burst of pride
Perhaps that pile can stay neat
Out of my way
I'll look at it
But I won't walk through it any longer
