DustDust is a general name for minute solid particles (diameter less than 500 micrometers; otherwise see sand or granulates[?]), and in general, for finely divided matter.On Earth, dust occurs in atmosphere from a number of sources : soil dust lifted up by wind , volcanic eruptions, human atmospheric pollution are only examples. Dust is also widely present in the space (see interstellar dust, Zodiacal light), where gas and dust cloud are primary precursors for planetary systems[?]. The dust which collects in homes is composed of the atmospheric dust combined with the dust from the human inhabitants, mostly from our own skin and the fibers of our clothing and coverings. It is removed with a cleaning cloth or vacuum cleaner. Dust physical behaviour follows laws that are not comparable with that of solid or fluid matter. For example the pressure on a box full of dust needs not to be uniform. See physics of granulate matter[?] for explanation.

Up and down the gentle street.
Little women, little men,
Would that I might fall in line
But with broomstick for a gun,
Bravely wore back there for fun,
Foes that deep in am/am.html">am/ambush.html">ambush kneel--
I that once was brave and bold,
Planning to attack my den,
That you give a worn-out boy
Pitter-patting in the hall;
Conquest by a troop so small.
You have but to smile to win.
Dreaming of his by-gone days.

At night I leave the job behind;
And everything I do by day
While I am here I cannot see.html">see
The occupation he pursued.
"And brings but small reward to me.
That I believe are rightly mine.
Because I'm forced to work for him."
I stopped a third young man to ask
A cheerful smile lit up his face;
He said, "because some distant day
"Your boss?" I asked, and answered he:
That money I am here to earn,
Allegiance to myself I own.
It gets me favors or applause--
That actually I work for me.
"It looks like business good to me
If customers approve my style
I help the firm to get the pelf,
From one big thought I'm never free:
The ladder of success in time.
Of daily working for a boss,
It is their own stars that they dim.
They are the ones who really lose.
The Truth About Envy
I like to see the flowers.html">flowers grow,
I think a well-kept garden's fine,
But one can't have a stock of flowers
The roses do not flourish there.
Is now a tangled mass of weeds.'
