There are sharp bends
in the arduous climb
from Marriage Ends
to New Beginnings
Kinfolk and friends
that reside in the tanglewood
become threatening fiends
like wasps that sting
Conventional courtesies
observed in the shallows
are social niceties
incompatible with truth
An elephant in the wild
is free and may roam
Avoid those that reside
in enclosures and at home
