Standing there..

An elephant, a normal one.
Ivory Coast explorers, having some Earl Grey before the chase & hunt.
Words didn’t reach far before birds flew too far and rats, whatever rats do.
An elephant stood there.
Among noble humans, tea time.
In the middle of the room.
And no one raised a finger, not even the one that shoots.
A normal elephant.
Waiting.
