glass elephant

someone called me today to make them a glass elephant. It is not cheap to make a glass elephant. They must be fed a steady diet of genius. They never forget, either. The brain must wrap itself around a project like tortilla around a burrito before one can proceed forth into the actualization of a word or a germ or a dream into something as solid as glass. In truth glass is not a solid but rather a slow liquid. (In old houses the windows are thicker at the base than at the top.) Dali's elephants had long and spindly legs but a glass elephant will have normal legs as they are made of a slow liquid.
