the delicacy of elephants

I'd like to go
As the elephant goes:
Watch his heels
And watch her toes.
More seamless
Than a spider's web
Smooth as whipped cream,
Wax and ebb.

I'd like to go
As the elephant goes.
But can't, alas and
Stone the crows!
I am all elbows
And all knees,
Devoid of all
That walks and sees.
