The Elephant of Love

You and I, we sit
While the elephant in the room
Stomps like a hyena and cries like a dolphin

You and I, we sit
And ignore the sound of music
Like peas on a pod with no ears

You and I, we sit
As the elephant in the room flashes neon bow-ties
And whips his trunk in our faces
Like giddy grasshoppers on a Thursday

You and I, we sit
And reject our passions together
Like a team of wimps with a baby’s fears

Without the tears
Because we have been blinded, deafened, muted, and made indifferent
To the giant elephant in the room-
The elephant of love
