Wave A Flag

To clear the air
Never say easy
Say alright
Or say let me think for a minute
Like a grown up drunk Hardy Boy
In a cheap hotel room
Hands cupped against face
Like the most far sighted thing ever created

To cut this mood
Don't play reggae
Put on Billie Holliday
And ease into it
Talk about biscuits
Or capped sleeves
But don't mention elephants
Or money

To show your strengths
Avoid confrontation
That will only bring regret
Or choosing sides
These rifts are deadly
Starting with a fissure
Ending with a pop
Like a bad joint
One with no cartilage
Or undetected seeds
