The Elephant

June 5, 2025



Is in the room

I did not invite the elephant

Those who did, do not want

To acknowledge the elephant

They are too busy sipping

From the punch bowl

With a turd in it to pretend

It wasn’t left by the

800-pound gorilla

As the chaos economy

Props and falters at the

Whims and wishes of a

Unatisfied narcissistic ego

Desperate for attention

As the bull in the China shop

Will not leave even after

Tables are overturned and

Every dish and cup is destroyed

Leaving the owners in a pickle

To fight the insurance companies

For compensation to be denied

Left with a little less will to rebuild

After the circus leaves town

    I wonder if this is also a fractal experience. Something we do in our own lives too without realizing we’re mirroring what’s around us

    That makes sense. Sometimes, we address the elephant, or we let others, or we ignore it all together. Good observation. Thanks for bringing it home.
