Negotiating
a
difficult conversation,
like
a game of Jenga,
is
a built-thing,
requiring
finesse,
a light touch.
Approach
is
everything.
It’s
a game of
arrangement,
placement.
Of
balance.
If
the devil happens
to
be at your back
when
you’re talking
and
belches
or
spits,
you
may just see
the
whole construction
come
tumbling down.
Keep
the Dark Prince at bay
if
you can.
Tell
him to mind
his
own damn business.
To
celebrate Independence Day
somewheres
else.
And
to be sure to take
his
slaver with him.
