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.
– Hailey Leithauser (2014)
