The shape of the elephant

My brother used to ask people what they thought of me

and I was easy with pleasant, deep sexy voice, even nice

but what about arrogant, vain , going down the tube,

even disgusting (from a stray bold sexual innuendo)?

Later I accepted that other eyes did not reflect

my image of myself: I was instead

an elephant measured by the blind.
