I saw contorting, intercepting waters
I saw wispy, white cotton in the sky
I saw a big, white luminous orb
I saw ridges bobbing up and down
I saw wide eyes of creatures big and small
I saw tears of dew on crisp leaves
I saw immense trees with lush tops
I saw budding blossoms
But I saw it on TV
When I went outside
I saw a whir of multi-colored cars
I saw concrete winding roads
I saw vulgar shreds of garbage
I saw towering buildings
I saw obnoxious advertisements
Why go outside when I can see something better inside
