I’m a stranger to this land,
what are these graceful flowers
with plush yellow pods
waving lightly
in the early afternoon?
Such a lovely garden you have!
But why are you cutting them down?
.
They’re dandelions!
you say with disgust.
.
Puzzling,
I bid you farewell
and trip on the trash
in the street.
