Taxi driver

gabrielsmy articles 6 Dec 20131 Jun 2026

I like
to imagine myself
as the lion of the road,
prowling
the streets
for prey.

In the pecking order,
taxi drivers
rank pretty
highly;

pedestrians
are like chickens,
cyclists
are the monkeys

and buses
are wildebeests,
grinding along
in packs.

From What I’m really thinking: the taxi driver. By Ailsa Holland.
