Elephant Parade

Tonight, an invisible parade of elephants line up. There are big elephants, small elephants, pink, brown, white and grey ones too. Invisibly pink, invisibly brown, invisibly white and invisibly grey, that is. Of course, there are also who are invisibly purple, green and blue... Some of them are lady elephants, some are boy elephants, some are in love. Some of them glow and some have shiny star-like-opal eyes. Some have little elephants beside them, some have little elephants within their bellies. Some have tasks of fine bone china, some have their bodies of clean white feathers. One has his body covered with dirty white feathers though. Some elephants are of baby blue towel. One of which has a baby pink earring on one side. Some elephants are of emerald green bottle glass, some are of emeralds. Some are of gold and some are of silver...
They greet each and every other maybe like long lost friends, but maybe not, but definitely eagerly and happily. They have to be rather quiet, so they whisper their hellos in a way invisible elephants have to whisper sometimes.
