#2102 - the elphant gets out of the room



2102

6.275

2.x.25

the elephant gets out of the room

 

it must have been too much

 

of course one has to wonder how

one might ask Archimedes

 

how was the elephant here to begin?

 

so many questions!

 

will a puddle of fruit ferment?

what to do with unflung dung?

 

who has four knees?

 

if no one sees was the forest felled?

 

how many elephants did that take?

make change

 

with a skin this thick

 

swish of the tail

comes crashing through the billboard  

 

who’ll say unsee what we’ll never forget?

 

the elephant’s brown shirt, the jackboots

all of this larger than life

 

imagine a stampede to follow

 

you can tell where the elephant’s been
