don't have to wish
hard for a taxi,
they're everywhere
i care nothing for cars
(exit white car
enter white car
no matter it's not
the same car-
it's happened to me thrice)
it is a happy thing
i can get on
here
and get off
there
and inbetween live it up on the way home
radio raging with bass vibes or i-will-always-love-you-ms-parton ismael-lo-so-smooth or pitbull-guetta-ladymay chasing cars horns horns horning at us fingers fleety frozen homemade lollipops cold and icy for the drive hurriedly through windows wipped
but now i smile
at
with
to
for
the taxi driver
taking in bold black legs
in a secret sidelong glance
makes me catch my secret breath
wishing for a secret wish
made all the more secret for his
teeth that really are snow white
smiling asking you have a husband
(i lisp a snow white lie)
crawl puff splatter charge zip
up hills round corners past death
homes houses children wait happily
or not we all head homeward
.
sticky fingers unlatch my door
enter tranquility
