Question and Answer
A sort of daydream

You looked out the window.  What did you see?
There is a boy on the path beside the road.  Did you see him?

No.  The wasteland was all I saw.

Tell me about the wasteland.  What are its best features?
Does it have grass?  What was its colour?
You saw it, I know.

It may have been green or it may have been purple,
blue,
maybe,
or pink with yellow seeds.
I really can't remember.
I wasn't taking notice.

What did you notice about the heath?

There comes to mind a certain time,
before the beginning of civilisation,
when the world was yet to be tamed.
That is what I saw.
