Dust Gathers

Dan Fitzgerald

Dust gathers so quickly.
Lifting a seldom used treasure
from a table leaves a footprint of passing
in ancient tar pits.
That will be my legacy.

A house so immersed in neglect
of living, archeologists and anthropologists
will marvel, wonder and argue over
the artifacts being lifted from the deep debris.
Measuring the depth of each imprint
will reveal a precise time table of my past.
In the middle of it all, supine on a couch,
I will rest, smiling and forever asleep,
with the TV remote in my hand.
