Analysis of Exposing Cards
put a stop to the played-out
chances
I want
to know
things will be alright
it would be great
for you
for me
we could finally
trust each other
so lay your cards open now
and I’ll show you mine
no more
push
hunt
shoot
we’ll be offering each other ten
and giving peace a hand
