Refrain

if you know what’s good for you.
Do not take
that sort of tone with New York City.
New York doesn’t have to take that kind of shitfrom the likes of you
and hasn’t
since before you were born.

New York is not fond of ultimata
and doesn’t react well to them.
New York isn’t exactly famous
for playing well with others.

It would be smarter
in fact
to just apologize to the city
beg a quiet forgiveness
and go about your business.
If you don’t,
I would not recommend
spending so much time
in this town.
