Black Market
No drops for my wheel,
The heat I feel
For the haze that hovers the tank - holds the flow
At this time - all is slow
I'm bereft of drink,
As there's a steep hike
With a fleet of legs on the street
A trade we meet.
Bargains under the shade forgone-
For transactions under the sun.
They look on as the sale goes-
Them they can make no foes
Back door business stays on the rise-
While our morals of it take their dives
