Poem
I walked to the gate where the taxi was waiting Checked in my pocket for change for the fare Opened the door, saw the driver was laughing Asked for the reason, would he like to share He stared ahead, set the meter a' running Took the first left thinking it would be right Said not a word about my destination Pressed on the gas and drove into the night Traffic light art in the broadest of colors Yellow and green, an occasional red Speed limits tossed like a bag to the roadside Wondering if it was something I said Then down an alley so dark and deserted Parking lot stripes in an orderly way Nothing for miles or maybe forever This is enough and I just had to say "Where are we going, I've not that much money?" Then with a twitch and the wink of an eye I saw the driver reflect in the mirror He was a her, I could not help but sigh For there you were with a cap colored yellow I saw your smile, my heart skipped a beat That's when you stopped and the engine was halted Came to my door and into the back seat "Are you surprised", we're the words that you asked me More than you know was my answer to you We stayed a while and love was in blossom Two in a taxi, what else could we do Yes this is silly, my romantic poem Life has been tough as I go on my own Merely some words in a tough situation Here on this night reading soup all alone
