Large or small, kid, adult, mother, aunt, uncle, hell grandmothers, it's always the same thing; How much? Take the money, quick call to the man around the corner, and then send the user  along. It doesn't matter how much I try to dissuade children, if I don't supply their need, someone else will. A lot of times it's either weed or these damn pills. Pills this, pills that, Xanax, or "Xanies," as the younger ones call it. Molly, which is just stronger ecstasy as explained to me by the "Plug." I feel so out of touch with this society and its terms. When did drug culture get this out of hand? 

A Week Ago:

"I'm desperate, I need money fast. You said you can make a lot in a little time, I want to help."

"Tired of sleeping in dumpsters huh? Well, why should I trust yo ass? I don't know you. You could be an undercover."

"I don't know any undercovers willing to sleep in a dumpster."

"See, that's not the right mentality to have tryna work for me. Pigs'll do anything to catch yo ass. I definitely expect a pig to sleep in a dumpster to sell their act."

"Look, I'm not a pig. I'll be honest, I don't approve of selling drugs personally. I think it's more harmful than anything."

"Then why try to sell?"

"I told you I'm desperate. No one's gonna give me a loan for seven thousand. I need to earn it and earn it fast. I'll do whatever it takes. Let me help you. Put someone in charge of watching me, I'll earn your loyalty. Being out here has to be dangerous I'm sure. Let me take your spot. Make money doing something else. I'll still give you all of the cash, I just ask for ten percent of what I help you make."

"I definitely don't trust you, but this is a dangerous job. I've been shot before out here. I'm all good though. I work for somebody else, I owe them the value of whatever they give me plus ten percent. Your ten percent is gonna cut further into my profit. So, if you want to take a spot out here you gone have to do more than just sell."

"What else?"

"We be having competition out here. You finna help us with that too."

"Fine. I just need to the cash."

"Being desperate make people do dumb shit. Imma have my boys watch the numbers real close. They'll know exactly what you should and shouldn't have. I find out you shortin me, Imma short yo life you hear me dumpster man? Undercover or not. If I gotta go down, they gone be putting me away for life, cuz I'm taking yours. Imma be watching you real close."

"That's fine. I'll earn your trust don't worry."

"We'll see. Be here tomorrow night, same time."
