your elephant nonsense

cautiously you dance around the issue
i guess that's the best way to do it
and with a wide grin
you exclaim that i am perfect
and you don't understand, sweet man
that all i crave
is already in my hands
you've given me everything
when i least deserved it
you're my dragonfly
with vibrant colors you soar
high above the squalor i've created
a beating of wings to ameliorate the situation
and so we've spit out our problems
like children spit turnips
we move on and you move closer
to me and my soul
i'll hold you tight
so as not to lose you in the parade of life
we can cram our bodies together in the crowd
dodging the elephant nonsense
and we will smile.
