Longevity-not all it’s cracked up to be. If I were an elephant I would learn to accept it, but hiding out from poachers doesn’t seem a very nice life. I like my big floppy ears, they come in handy to ward off insects, and of course my tusks are useful and quite handsome. My bulk and strength comes in handy for work, in case trampling the ground gets boring and I need sustenance. C’est la vie!

To live long, live slow.
It needn’t be boring,
but the sparkles
must dance seldom
else their brightness
entice the muse to
too often, burn
one’s midnight flame.
