The Dust
I originally posted this to my friend Andy's now defunct antisocial network: asocial.
I am not the dust that settles,
The inevitable layer of inaction
Covering the memories of our past.
I am the dust that travels.
Forgotten, yes.
All that remains, true.
I follow the winds,
The harbingers of change and movement
Rushing through the joys of the present.
Never stable, true.
Idle, yes.
No, I am abandoned to history.
I am not the dust that settles,
The hapless, witless passenger of time
Cowering from an uncertain future.
