The elephants

 
Elephants are huge
they cast giant shadows
have wide flat round feet
and lots of love for the trunk.

Elephants are annoying
with their bodies
stunning
the soft memories
of stupid children's faces.

Elephants know
many and diverse people
which if it's not a friend
must be a far relative.

Such lonely animals
take up lots of space
but they can't hide
because they don't fit
in the closets.

They mess with everything and everyone
want to be part of history
but they get lost in the conversation
and do not keep the memory.

They cover the view and the landscape
and scream hysterically
they wanted to be butterflies
but nobody knew that…

They are so gray and stupid
they are so slow and silly
they always think they already had
what was never given to them.

They always have opinions
intentions of bumping into each other
they look like clouds in the wind
but rain, which is good, what a shame!

They pretend to be interested
pretend they are helping
if they can be on credit…
let others be the ones who go to work.
