duster

Description

Dusting is the ceremonial pretense of banishing unseen legions of dead skin cells from furniture crevices, while conveniently sweeping away one’s guilt for neglect. Like blaming the weather for one’s bad hair day, we swipe once and forget, only to confront the same battlefield moments later. The brush in hand is less a cleaning tool than a symbolic gesture to organize the chaos in our minds, marking the endless war against entropy. Believing each swish brings us closer to perfection, we merely shuffle the dust around in a pointless ritual.
