Sandwiched between reels of wide-eyed cats
And recipes for vegan cake.
The stillicide of broken lives,
Bombed out buildings,
Shelled out souls,
For us to say "Aah!"
Until, with algorithmic artistry,
Our tears turn to laughter
At the antics of a baby
Elephant,
Conveniently distracting us from the large one
In the room.
