Kudos to Kathleen for picking up the Antipoetic gauntlet of poésie sans poète!

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
it’s difficult to celebrate
for once we see our cells relate
thoughts start to accelerate.
Well wisdom seems aristocratic
dusted down from someone’s attic
pulled apart and cleared of static
(fluctuations are erratic).

Oh how we trace the web life spins
parts swept away like bowling pins!
Neither consciousness nor human prints
will never match an elephant's.
