THE GIRAFFE
Je me nourris de choses elevees ...
Lord,
I who see the world from above
find it hard to get used to its pettiness.
I have heard it said
you love humble creatures?
Chatter of apes!
It is easier for me
to believe in your greatness.
I feed on exalted things
and I rather like
to see myself so close to your heaven.
Humility!
Chatter of apes!
Amen
