can we not talk about that

i'd like
to have a serious
conversation
with someone,
but i'm afraid it will hurt
their feelings
bringing up a touchy
subject.
so i tip toe
around the room
trying not to crack
any more egg shells
scattered about the floor.
i carefully negotiate
my way around
the elephant,
fat and grey,
the long trunk,
the ears
flopping, once more
ignored.
