Mindsettle

I’m on the floor
And won’t pick myself up.

Melted to the bottom.
Welded to the linoleum.

The bottom of everything
Where I can see crumbs

And dust bunnies
Resting still.

They’ll end up in the trash.

Maybe a vacuum, or
Inside the was of a wet wipe.

Dust from the ceiling fan
Settle to the bottom of something.

I’m on the floor
And won’t pick myself up.

Where it lay
Makes no difference to the dust.
