Dustbunnies
by Will Oldham...

You can name them, I've got them. I hate cliches, but if you have any requests as far as dust is concerned, I'll do it for a price. The price all depends on size, form, and where the dust comes from. Bunnies mostly. They're cheapest because they're my specialty, now. You won't find many in the dustshaping business as good as I am at bunnies. And my prices? The best around. Bunnies used to be so hard and so I decided to spend a year doing bunnies only, and I did. Kind of a bunny retreat. But I've stuck to bunnies better than any diet I've kept...of course you can see that! Made nothing but bunnies, didn't indulge in any dustmouse or a piece of dustfruit. I traveled the country looking for rare dust. Got some off a trailer settled near the Grand Canyon, but, get this, the trailer originated in Oregon! So I probably got dust collected from all over the West Coast. And, you know, if you look enough places on a single trailer, you can get up to sixteen ounces of dust. The average bunny is, in fact, about sixteen ounces. I once made a bunny out of gathered Mount St. Helen's ash, but that was early on in my career, before the bunny crusade, so it wasn't too good. Can you believe it?! It sold for a measly $2.50! But now, with my greatly improved skill, if I had enough St. Helen's ash, I could make a $25.00 dustbunny. Dustshaping is slowly becoming ...the business of the future.
