Ignoring Elephants

You missed their games booze and TV in your decree

Stating you're busy, or, you'd rather bore with more than me

I never claimed to be fun, nor you your words to be full with truth

What you uttered was in earnest, but facts were left in tooth

Or in brain, not knowing what nor how to explain

You always expressed more average than Jane

My accommodating distance forces the hand of greater desire

The penalty of some patience akin to bearing shorts through briars

At least give me a job with muscles involved for I like being used

I'll do my duty amused, then be self excused

Back to my alarm clock radio that could serve as an ipod

To my tube adapted computer, efficiency's not a facade

Finding interest in peoples lives not in their video games

In daily ventures and claims, mainly yours and few other names

The subtleties of your body and vocal variation

Minutia of your actions and all of their causation

Claiming busy is solely giving false hope

Regardless of deception, I'm alone left to cope

Mindful of the elephant attempting disguise in my living room

Casting constant shadows, covering my every inkling and step, loom

I do what you meant to do, despite it being hard to push and pull through

Pronouncing to pachyderm “adieu”
