The mammoth mistake:
admitting to feeling
other than you should,
fulfilling instead
how you might.
The devious difference
between make-believe
and faith: one jumps from
flower patch to patch,
one from Man to God.
The only obligation:
to eat the seeds
if it could mean
burning the forest
to see the trees.

Double entendre wisdom on slowly curdled sardonic afternoon and you slap me across the face with this. Of course the last mammoth I ever saw was frozen on a tundra about an ice age ago. It was a past life and I was a thief, a very bad one, about to die. Short story told to often to by to many people who would be king.
Love, Tom B.
