Cotton

I woke up one weekend to find the house to myself. Everyone was away and I had the run of the house. Time to be productive I said..Time to be productive. Well, I did nothing except clean, watch something on the computer or t.v. I can't really remember and then I imagined how long it would take for me to clean every surface of the house with cotton balls. A day? A week? A month? A year. I realized that by the time I might come up with some arbitrary time for the cotton ball cleaning that there would be a fresh cover of dust on the kitchen floor I just finished and that one side would be cleaner than the other side but not really clean, just less dirty.
