Taxi
By Kelly B Jones
This journey begins where mine means to end
A night that seemed a legend, now feels like remorse
The city sun stirs and society’s assembly line sets in motion
Toes sore, eyes tender, ears begging for silence
His vigorous ankle jerks and jabs the auto uncomfortably
The assembly line bends and twists to find freedom
Stomach heaves, temples throb
Home never seemed so far
And Loneliness never felt so close
Pressing an ear against the glass, wondering how long this’ll last
Giving up breath and accepting the sin
Then a soft whistle, which becomes gradually audible
It is honey over thorns, the sound of the sunrise.
It is the fipple flute, the kluey – ooh through his tattered speakers.
It is Thai, so I know that I’m home.
Thank you Khun Taxi for bringing me there.
