Maintain

Maintain.
Maintain your focus, when you’re selling Street Sense papers.
I saw a vendor almost get hit by a bus, chasing one of his
customers to sell a paper.
I also saw a vendor walk into a glass door, looking at a woman.
Maintain your focus, vendors.
The paper will sell. I promise.
Younger vendors really have to maintain.
They argue over who was here first, racing one another to a
certain spot.
Trust me, all the spots work.
And, when a customer doesn’t buy the paper, don’t get upset.
Some people will look in their wallet, or their purse, and say
they don’t have cash.
Some of you get mad.
Always remember.
Maintain.
Stay focused.
Cat in the Hat, Baby.
