[INTERLUDE]

one waits for the dust to settle. urban dust is the residue that flies around in the air of our society. that junk that comes out of the industrial revolution, technology, modern day society. people like Bush, our reality tv culture, american capitalism possibly make up what is urban dust. it's like a term from a media studies class. urban dust gets wiped away but then floats back up into the air and continues to pollute our nation. it's sneaky because it's so invisible but it's all over the place.

and the reason you are called urban dust is because of the hidden malice in our world

the malice that is seeping into our homes, our culture, society, art, children, IM, blogs
