Parading

And suddenly a few elephants—

And everything was overturned!
And everything was overturned!
And everything was overturned!
Poetry begins to get the idea,
Poetry begins to get the idea,
Studying the new configurations,
Studying the new configurations,
It begins to understand the beauty of clumsiness,
It begins to understand the beauty of clumsiness,
The beauty of the elephant cast out by the nether world. —Nikolai Zabolotsky, translated by Daniel Weissbort
