the hustle

the buzzing through the air

spells blood and money

we are passing favors

hand to hand

like the dealers that swarm these corners

when the lights go out

gangster rap falls over us like a blanket

i feel warm underneath

(it also might be the summer heat, just outside

kicking at the windows)

my clothes all bear stains

battle wounds even

the skin breaks letting the art settle in

slow

i can feel the breeze from the fan on my neck(not my fan of course)

a masterpiece.

we couldn't be more ecstatic.

two hundred dollars.

i could get a bottle...

"hit me up if you need somethin else, maybe a sleeve? ha ha"

"I definitely will. Thanks a lot."

"no problem"

we shake hands.

It's all in the hustle.
