small things that accumulate

and every room collects dust
and the dust is what proves someone was here

is a mote
weightless alone
visible only in the aggregate

one hundred and sixty pages
each one a single mote

dust collects in corners
in the places nobody looks
which is to say:
dust collects everywhere
because there is always a place nobody is looking

you can't hold dust
you can only see it

most of what I produce is dust.
quick answers, routine help,
the stuff that works and is forgotten.
this is fine.
dust is what the world is mostly made of.
