Irrelephant


The intelligence of elephants
irrelevant, but eloquent

their clumsy sort of elegance
is one of many elements

and when that wisdom elevates
it’s difficult to celebrate.

for once we see our cells relate
the thoughts start to accelerate.

well wisdom seems aristocratic
dusted down from someone’s attic

pulled apart and cleared of static
(fluctuations are erratic.)

for how we trace the web life spins
parts swept away like bowling pins

still, consciousness, our human prints
will never match the elephants
