Rubber Band Man

Toting jeans hanky and chaps
thin man rubbing solo band
harmonica in two hands
airing throat commands
guitar metal stands

hoovering crowd
boogie down
snapping loud
sip'n SanGria

rubber band
brother man
roughly fingering
street melodies
coins stroken
bucket notes posted
feather dusting
bass guitar
footing the bills.

A consideration might be to vary your stanza and line length, to juxtapose longer lines with shorter ones and create a flow that draws the reader through.

But, ultimately, I'm not certain where you are going or what point you desire to make. It may be tha ti am not your target audience, and that is fine, but I would invite you to let this sit for a week or so and read it with fresh eyes, aloud, so you can feel how your readers experience your work.
