dust and truck

you ran down on me, and trashed me like the dust underneath the wheels of a truck, and i, i went behind you, gaining an ephemeral momentum, like the same loose dust, mindlessly rushing behind it. nota bene: my eyes saw the dust and imagination created the rest

First isn't it paradoxical?
Then isn't it ironic?
Now isn't it too dusty? :-D

Nice one. Honest. I could actually see the dust rising and then rushing towards a receding truck... :-)

thanks a lot, er! :-) i seriously donno wht went wrong with regard to this post--not sure if ppl really liked it or not. for me, it's one of the best, bcos this is the first time i was able to capture well, a plight that i imagined.
