We are everywhere we have ever been. We leave ourselves behind Thoughts       Words                Flesh                       Skin                            Hair                                  Sweat                                          Oil Traces immeasurably small, permanent We are in the cracks between floorboards Smeared onto walls. Stressed into upholstery. We are microscopically ever present. There is no getting rid of us. Breaking down. Rotting out of our casings. Daily decomposing. Your DNA fills your home. Every place you have ever visited. Let this be a comfort.
