Explaining – a poem

Explaining

Explaining sight
To the blind elephant
Is like explaining life
To the foolish.

I don’t know what made me pick on elephants. I guess it is just that they are highly intelligent animals. But explaining a missing sense to someone who has never experienced it is a ridiculous thing.
It makes me wonder what senses we have missing.
What would the universe look like if we were better equipped? How much are we missing out on?
Who could possibly explain?
