Layers
What are the layers of an ocean?
Have you been there?
What are the layers of a cloud?
Do you swim there often?
Have you walked through the layers
of chickens in a farmyard?

I’ve been writing as if your work in conversing is to ambush your friend into the process. Maybe ambush is not the right word here. Instead, you might tease, or ask for help, or respond to his or her request. But: what if it were a mutual quest or consciously chosen game? How would you enter? Because conversational art is created together.
