It's in the dirt smudged into the lobby rug,
And hidden in cobwebs under the stairs.
It's drizzling down the side of tall buildings,
It's wafting towards us in the air.
It's in calloused hands and drying mouths,
It's in every grimace and every pout.
It's life.
You may not like it.
You may turn from it in disgust.
But it's in you.
The same specs of sunlight you crave,
Crawl in the night.
It's the stuff of life.
And it's in you.
