ELEPHANTS AREN'T
GREAT SWIMMERS
Mother carried me on
her back. She's already
tall, she doesn't have to
swim. Those sick gators
wanted to make a fool's
meat out of me. Mother
tells me I am made of
ivory and tough skin. This
is what beauty is and this
is why gators shouldn't
be trusted. They have
tough skin, too, and only
ivory teeth. Mother tells
me to ignore them. They
are not one of us. One
day, she says, when you
grow tall and wise, you
will realize that your soul
is much more bigger than
theirs.
