hey you never know

she was sitting on the bench with her knee up against her chest. She was rocking her body back and forth. She wraped herself in white bed sheets. She was talking to herself. i told her that Haloween was yesterday. she answered back some incomprehensive words. i looked at her chart. it turned out to be Katerina. I forgot the last name.

the elephant turning its head

while doing some patient care at bed side i noticed W has a huge tatoo on his hand. I saw it some kind of elephant...
i asked him " is it a flying elephant"
he replied " it is an elephant turning its head looking back"
What is the metaphor? i was curious.
he answered me with eager " one knows where he came from?"
....
15 min later i came back and joked with W " i don't think the elephant has no neck ... so it can't look back ".
How silly i was .
