Elephantine March [Free Verse]

The herd is on the march.

They lumber with slow
      determination. 

The young achieve

        but aren't allowed
         too wide of the line. 

I wonder whether they're
       going someplace good?

missed Victoria Falls when all was said & done.
He'd thought it a trifle
to see tower Eiffel,
and, when in Paris, he made an end-run.
