you're on the sidewalk
waiting for a shiny red taxi
and you can hear the people
talk
all around you, teksi, teksi, teksi
but none of them are for you.
and you want one to be for you
so bad
so
so bad,
you want to start anew
on the other side of the street
but there are no taxis for you.
there has to be, there has to be,
hands waving, white flags aplenty,
take me a w a y, take me
and they all blur past until the streets echo e m p t y
(
but there are
no taxis for you)
instead, a black car pulls up
next to you,
get in, he says, we could go somewhere,
if you want
and you want a lot and the windows are tinted
black
,
so you do.
