The Elephant in the Room

by Mintybee

No one talks about

the elephant in the room.

He stands

          awkwardly,

                    alone.

Unsure why he's here,

and why he's ignored,

he is dismayed.

Cheer up elephant.

Not for long will you be,

          awkward,

                    alone.

Soon you'll have more

than enough company.

We don't talk about

anything anymore.
