Back in business, in tycoon form
touting like a hustler for what
the day may bring: bring noise bring
heat bring dust and it smells
like the street (my private property my
Wall Street, my bonanza)
bought and sold, selling now
on competitive terms: my sharp
my shop-worn challenge
on a day like today, on my street
feeling strong: feel cunning (lazy malice)
and sly: feel like laughing –
wanna rip somebody off
