Talking To the Elephant

It was my turn to take care of the elephant last week.

It asked how I and the rest of humans have managed to talk to him.

It was a very interesting question and it blew my mind.

Later that day, I went back to my room after my job.

I locked the door, and crawled under my bed in a tight circular ball and started crying.

My mind was blown and I was not sure how I was going to get it back.  

This was not a terrorist attack, it just happened.

To be honest, it was completely my fault, I let it happen.

The next day, I got up and spent about an hour preparing myself. I put on makeup, brushed my teeth, put deodorant, did a few readings and solved some problems, sagged my pants a little bit and put on my favorite hat. Then I went down stairs where the elephant was waiting for me.

We went for a two step.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
