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
