You can feel the brickwork give beneath your step.
Each such shift in sand and balanced earth
is kindred to the world’s intrinsic drift.
Cars kick up a clatter, rumbling down the road—
their tires grind brick to brick, turn dust to dust.
When a truck goes by, the whole street quakes.
You can feel your life begin to shake.

-from Dust To Dust by David Baker.
