Today the post-
woman brought
me an elephant.
"What's this?" I asked.
"Wondered if you
were interested in a
pet," she replied. "It
was thrown out from
a house earlier on my
round. A big guy 
lives there, named
Hannibal. Apparently
he's downsizing after
a trip across the Alps, 
& there wasn't room 
in the room for both 
him & the elephant."

The Secret of the Clouds

It is daytime. The unlit moon
comes across as just another
cloud as it mixes in with them.
Except these clouds don't look
like those clouds — or those /
these, depending on what your
viewing point is. Nothing secretive
about the ones above my head:
meteorologists have long since been
able to define, decline them. These others?
Okay, it's obviously a shitty day, but the 
only secret I can posit they contain is 
which of asemic notebook, extrusion, or 
tangled spaghetti do they spring from.
