Great dialect here! I could really hear the accent in my head. The characters feel real with a minimum of description. Only contention is that I haven't heard anyone unironically call weed reefer or a joint a cigarette in my lifetime, but without knowing the context here I'm assuming this is set sometime in the past. Great little excerpt/short here though.
Random click from "read a newbie", pleasantly surprised. I like the way the second line in each stanza (if that's the correct term) is a negative, resolved by the rest. I can almost hear the chord change to a minor, if this were set to music. Only thing I personally would like to see would be a period on the last line, as I feel like that would close the poem, voice-wise. Keep it up!
