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.
