    Please help me find this e.e. cummings poem

    I am losing my mind trying to find this poem by e.e. cummings - I only remember faint ideas/snippets/etc of it and none of it is getting me anywhere in Google.

    Here's what I remember:

    - it has the word elephant in it
    - it might be talking about the elephant's ear or some part of the elephant
    - love is a main theme
    - in classic e.e. cummings style he uses parenthesis in it - inside the parenthesis he makes some kind of comment about how he doesn't have the words to describe how he feels or what he's thinking: ie: (I don't have the words)

    I know it's all vague and not very descriptive at all but I'm really, really hoping someone clues into my insanity - I've seriously spent the last 3 hours trying to find this poem and I'm ready to crack.

    To Velka: I know e.e.cummings pretty well and can't find a poem that fits. If the animal mentioned is a hippopotomus, then I do have an answer. quasi
