upon rejoining the ether

a moment to pause and reflect,
upon rejoining the ether. a single
electron hurtling through space
with no apparent destination suddenly
finds a positive force to attach itself to.
there is a group here, awaiting this one
little electron to make the construction
come close to completion. they form a sort
of shell, keeping to themselves. eventually
codependents are connected, and
the group becomes a gathering.

expanding outward, the molecule is transmogrified
into a single speck of dust.

dust clings to dust, and the dust
grows larger.

it grows feet, grows long,
floppy ears.

soon enough there is a soft
little puff of tail.

soon enough,
this itty bitty dust bunny
will be something to truly contend with.
