Why can’t you see that
Your pushing past
Dinosaurs
Who trespass
The periphery of your vision
But not the centre of your mind
Leaving giant prints behind
You, standing there
In the footprint of Argentinosaurus
The world hanging on
Waiting for you to notice
elephant in the room
Elephant
The redness of your cheeks as you blush
From the words you can’t, won’t say
Gives you away
As we take in this moment
Our fragility stronger than us
While the elephant
Sits at the periphery of this silence
