The Best Poem Of St.Jean Smythe

Hot Dog Man - Part I

I’m broke and I don’t understand.
I earn plenty at my hot dog stand.
From hand to mouth and none to hand,
Am I serving the wrong hotdog brand?
Are the onions and sauerkraut too bland?
Is my corner devoid of hot dog fans?
I wondered how can I greatly expand
Profits by selling in a place more grand,
Or near other more successful stands.
Maybe sidle up to carts with contraband
For sale. Drugs sold at the contraband stand.
I push my cart alongside the contraband,
Pot, hash, coke, pills, heroin, speed and
Every utensil for drug use known to man.
Those carts had more customers than
Anyone selling anything from any stand!
So I sidled up alongside Santiago’s brand,
Mostly pot and cocaine in tiny zipped and
Rubber banded bags with a red ink brand:
A Skull and crossbones or a fisted hand.
Santiago had constant buyers at his stand.
Druggies also bought dogs from my stand,
My sales spiked high near that drug man.
It seems drugs also made users hungry and
The dopers ate lotsa hot dogs at my stand.
When I parked near Santiago’s drug land
Some junkies they eat a dozen dogs, wham!
Took 12 more home. Sold out the dog stand
One day Santiago said while holding my hand
“Dude, more money in dope than dogs man.”
“Triple your profits in no time you understand? ”
You will sell every thing you push in that stand
Figured my weekly hot dog take about a grand
3K no more hand to mouth, money in hand
Predicament. I could save, maybe even buy land
Build a right fine home if I play the dealer hand
A pool in the yard, some grass, flowers grand
Piano, and furniture that befits a drug stand man.
Said “let me think on it” as I pushed my stand
Towards the place where all the stands stand
Thinkin’ three would be better than one grand
While crossing the street near the park, a cab ran
The red light not seeing me and my push stand.
