Triolet with Pachyderm

I don’t have to outrun the elephant,

I just have to outrun you.

I don’t have to race with a belligerent

ten-point buck, outpace an elephant

in musth. I don’t need to flee a wrathful firmament

or dance with a choleric jackboot.

I don’t have to outrun the elephant.

I only have to outrun you.
