Mike
By Marc Carver

A man got right in my face and started to ask me questions.
I let him ask his questions and told him nothing.
After five minutes he got it all out of his system.
Then I finished what I was doing and went up to him. 
I had seen the look in his eyes before,
someone looking for trouble.
“Hey Mike, take it easy there. I recommend a few whiskeys before you come down.”
“You do, do you?”
I looked into his eyes again but the fight had left him.
“I sure so, Mike. I sure do. And besides that avoid work.”
