She Could Only Breathe When They Were Alone
She was never one to keep
Her mouth shut about
The elephant in the room.
This pachyderm didn’t stay at home.
He moved right along with them
Like an unwanted cousin.
She wasn’t allowed to mention him
Ever.
She was so happy that he slept in her room.
She could always count on him.
Their secret was that they
recognized each other.
