it's all about the tamale hustle,
making something out of nothing
when you don't have access to wall street,
main street,
easy street -
even though
you're a rent check away
from living on the street
yelling out "tamales",
with no
license, permit
or document legalizing
your right to existence
yelling out "tamales"
like
yelling out "fire"-
"fire"-
to
anyone and everyone
yelling out "tamales"
because
yelling out for
"help"
will get you nowhere.
