april songs:  elements of life 7

april song 17—dust

in the paths of puffing billy
(though, at first, it sounds so silly),
citizens of every nation
tremble at wild-dust invasion.

his passport is universal
and his threats know no reversal;
birds and mammals take a dust bath
to routinely ease his gust wrath.

embryonic to the human
race, ‘tis dust makes up the true man,
and to dust he soon returneth,
when the breath in him adjourneth.

 nasa stardust has a duty
(and we should all join the tutti)
to reduce saharan nuisance,
till the world finds air translucence.
