 “The Elephant’s Child”. from thaifoodandtravel.com

An elephant is relevant

and ultimately confident

when he is in his element

and not within a zoo.

The human is irrelevant

a city-dwelling occupant

who locks himself inside cement

within his high-rise zoo.

Perspective is incipient

learned in the crib with reticence

a helpless mass of innocence

dependent from the start.

.

An elephant knew how to run

the moment that his life begun

so which of us is truly free…

the elephant or me?
