Dust Catcher

This thing catches the dust so it doesn’t gather somewhere else in the house.


It’s big, but sneaky and quiet as a mouse.


No one ever sees it working so diligently,


Hanging onto the dust for dear life,


Never wanting to let go,


Knowing the dust will be ripped from its arms again and again.


It just wants a friend.

I chose Thing Explorer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words by Randall Munroe. Here is the 7th page for reference:
