Beautiful Dust

"Somewhere in my dust heap there's a richness." – John Steinbeck


Persisting

Your Couch Fits in his F-150

People with trucks
They stay
(they can’t get far
not with that gas mileage)
You know
You know
Your buddy with the truck
Will always be there.
He didn’t move
Even when you did.

We Talked About Greatness Before

The corn takes work too

A different kind of greatness
To make dirt
Give you something worthwhile

A different kind of vision
To see potential
In what others have abandoned.

Staying doesn’t mean standing still.
Trees don’t grow tall
Without roots.

The corn takes work too.
