November Poet: Kay Ryan, Pt 4

One last poem from Kay Ryan!

The Elephant in the Room

It isn't so much
a complete elephant
as an elephant
sense --perhaps
pillar legs supporting
a looming mass,
beyond which it's
mostly a guess.
In any case, we
manage with relative
ease. There are just
places in the room
that we bounce off
when we come up
against; not something
we feel we have to
announce.
