An Essay on Dust

I.B. Rad

Please keep in mind
while tidying up,
common household dust could contain
atoms from Einstein,
progeny from Whitman’s microbiota,
bits of dandruff from Gershwin’s hair;
so don’t be in such a rush
to brush off those precious relics.
And though you’ve meant no disrespect,
as a proper token of your esteem
fling your cleaning implements aside,
google a biography of Einstein,
buy a book of Whitman’s poetry,
enjoy a Gershwin rhapsody,
all the while
delaying your cleaning chores
for still another day.
