/ Poetry /
My grandmother once told me that an elephant never forgets. While I didn’t believe her at first, I’m starting to think she told the truth.
My grandmother once told me that if I don’t practice the piano, I will have to solve an equation for every minute of time I waste.
My grandmother once told me that every Irishman was a poet, but that they only practice the craft after meeting someone they love.
My grandmother once told me that when I decide to read a book, I learn to hear what others say without interrupting their thought.
My grandmother once told me that if I listen closely in the night, I can hear wild coyotes cackling over their small, helpless prey.
Why do I remember what my grandmother once told me if she only said it once?
There is only one explanation:
I am an elephant.
