Yes...love, this little word your hear about,
is love an elephant and you step out
of the way where the elephant comes
trampling, tromping, traveling with big feet
and long flaps of drooping ears and
straight white ivory tusks,
and you step out of the way with respect,
with high respect,
and surprise near to shock as you say,
Dear God, he's big,
big like stupendous is big
heavy and elephantine and funny,
immense and slow and easy
I am asking, is love an elephant?
