I posted most of these on Clinton, but they have all since been cleaned up.
cabs call to each other
empty, hurry, why do they
migrate north all year?
atlantic storm blocks
progress of the yellow fleet
signals leave a wake
the lights change to green
to signal new beginnings
stalled movement makes noise
THE DRIVER
i can see the light
Do they think i can't see?
honking will kill you
i pause to admire
nowhere to go, still they beep
fuckin piece of shit
why won't he move? honk!
i'm late again, goddamn, honk!
i wish i could fly
i have no control
over you or him or the
light only my horn
THE RESIDENT
mr bloomberg please
excuse the squeege man and
ticket the honker
honking up clinton
ignorant of what we think
the damage is done
THE CABBIE
i work here, you know
this is my office. let's go!
i gotta feed my kids
