#1932 - all my elephants in the one room



1932

6.106

16.iv.25

all my elephants in the one room

 

land whales!

soaking up drunk puddle

 

tortoise lumber, steroid scale

 

they’re all ears too

four knees, who knew?

 

can really gestate

when they get going

 

think back

think mastodon, think mammoth

(woolly thinking!)

 

notorious elephants

Kipling kind and tender too

 

see them sidle

 

idle chatter

stop off with a castle by tube

way to go

 

all that musth – a boy thing

here’s the trumpet call to

 

a little hindgut fermentation

 

an alphabet of heffalump

a stampede face-off on the spot

 

each blown to own bubble

now taken to tusk

 

amazing you could miss

bad pun

 

loom large in the experiment

tail a monkey swung

 

we’re building an extension for them

 

they seldom wipe their feet

 

grey as day

all nose to blow

 

skin so thick

you won’t make an impression

 

X factor

all of an imagination

 

suits and ties for a mingle

assemble on a graph

 

each has a story though life is larger

clouds weigh much much more to float

 

I go to them for what I’ve forgotten

because, well

tick them off a list

 

just in my case of course

o where would I be without
