Theory of Mind
the elephant studies himself
in the mirror
twists his trunk
opens his giant mouth
all but takes the razor
and shaves his chin
this, scientists tell us
reveals the potential
for the theory of the mind
an elephant's capacity
to see the world
from someone else's
point of view
perhaps even to see
what that we
so often lack
- this self same theory -
and can see only
ourselves
