The Chicago Way

it might not be the best way

like a racoon over a garbage can
if you f**k with it...

inevitably 
things do escalate

in desperation
confrontation

it starts a wildfire. . .

so he punches you
you come back with a knife
he comes back with a sword
you come back with a gun

and so it goes 

until someone dies

over and over,

again and again. . .

into war

(on repeat)

Walk away, anything to take the heat out of a dangerous situation. Better alive than dead. Good morning from across the waters.

Turn the other cheek or start a war, know what I'd rather do.
Good morning David

I totally know what you'd rather do... you seem like a guy who wants to fight racoons over garbage.

Ha, I kid, I know you're a sweetheart.

It's not quite morning on this side of the pond... but good morning to you.
