Let us not speak of this again.
Let us keep mum
and drive this out of our brains.
Let us drink to forget
and hypnotize to ignore
and do mantras to avoid thinking
about what happened
what was said
and what wasn’t.

Let us remain silent on this
for it is surely for the best.
Let us agree
that the elephant has left the building
and will never be able to fit back in
and
as such
is beyond further consideration.

Let conversations commence
but on other topics.
Let us never speak of this again.

What?
