2.2644 : 7/29/12 : Elephant

I feel my way around
the edges of this elephant
I tiptoe try to find
a way around the wet cement
I can so clearly feel
where everything turns wrong
but not what's on the flipside
not what could make me strong
trunk to tail
dear elephant
can you explain what's relevant
tree stump legs
and flappy ears
I close my eyes
and elephant appears
the scary ones
dance on parade
remember every mess I made
and if I tear the blindfold down
there's nothing
I note with a frown
We made you up
from expectations
believed in our own
explanations
put it on a pedestal
truth is so
mundane and dull

what
