Get Out Of Here!




Again,
that elephant is chasing me!
The multi-dimensional,
three-tusked,
zebra-like,
mammoth!


Why?
Because,
I told him
to get his hell
out of here
into the woods.

But,
he was zebra-lined!

He chased me,

I ran through the maze,

he attacked me
with jets of fire
fired from his
Bushy trunk.

I tried flying,
he too flew!
I swam,
he swum!

I halted at Greenland.
He jumped
onto my head
and pressed me
to the ground.


My head was full moon,
my hand was trapeze rope,
I reached out for sun,
got it,
and hit him on his face.

He was tired!
I was asleep!
