What is the difference between a speck or a particle of dust

Now that is a very interesting question

It appears if I am a particle of dust, you can measure me

But hey, you can also measure me if I'm a speck of dust

So, what's the difference

Well, it comes down to the size

If I'm a speck of dust, as you know I am very small, but my size varies

And as consequence can sneak in, just about anywhere

But when compared to a particle, I can be a giant

Now, doesn't that seem like a contradiction

You could say that the smallest speck of dust, is in fact a particle

For, a particle is the smallest piece of matter possible, and each type is a specific size

In fact, to the naked eye, it is invisible

But it gets really confusing when you talk about sub-atomic particles

These are so small, they race around inside of an atom

I think we can safely say, that at this point they are no longer specks of dust

Footnote:

I had no idea, that writing poetry was going send me a scientific journey, to the minutest of places, you might say it is exciting, being taken to a whole new dimension.
