Christmas's Pink Elephants
bleached memories
lingering in the air
over Christmas dinner
Pretended forgiveness
making beef and noodles tougher
to digest
Pink elephants in the room
unnoticed and untouched
another year
familiar non-feeling feelings
Christmas
masquerading
as
truth
hidden under
fake
laughter
