Anxiety The Elephant
Location
Once sitting alone in a cold room
while graced with the warmest of hearts
the voice rings out in a moment of panic
"how do you eat an elephant?'
My mind stops, heart races
Mind now emptied of everything I am
The words repeat and the panic subsides
"how do you eat an elephant?'
I look up, finally, I hear what I heard
"how do you eat an elephant?'
Cut it? No.
Spoon it? No.
bite it? No.
The words repeat and my heart races again
"how do you eat an elephant?'
I have so much to do
but this captivates me.
I have so much to learn
but this steals me.
I have---
stop.
"how do you eat an elephant?'
One bite at a time!
