Street view

boot

The crusher of the rocks of chalk..
The endgame of the start 
The five and dime commit the crime 
The hawkers watch the block 

Up a step...a clearer view 
The posted see the most
As hustlers bait...and switch the cup
The corner sez..wat's up?

Down a step...or two or three 
Platforms...mini's...skinnies.. be
Skinny from the steps above 
Hi there sugar...don't mean love 

Daddy feeds the hunger...
Paid by John the steed
Shackles... seen by none but they 
Only women bleed

And so... lives on...the weed

    Fanciful and light it has a nursery rhyme flow that carries it onward to the surreal leaving so much open for interpretation. Lovely
