Taxi Driver Records
 
 
  Rhetoric
  ...it was a liquid evening of sorts...I kept my cream only coffee slightly above tepid with the help of a disfunctional defrost, blowing its tired breath from the dashboard in a failed attempt to maintain a comfortable atmosphere in the confines of my taxi...strictly temperature-wise, mind you...myself...I was getting reaquainted with a new found peace which had escaped me many years before...and the music was returning to my soul...and I knew it would soon be time to document it all once again...just for the record, mind you......it had been a journey of endless circles...nights of infinite beginnings and abrupt endings which only became new doors of opportunity in themselves...and there was traffic light fever...the city maze...I, a witness to secrets...a common chauffeur...not going anywhere but going everywhere...and yet...

I am nearing 40 now...no longer the rebel I used to be...the steering wheel has become a handcuff to my soul...yet I do not despise the chaos on the inside, well hidden, sealed, and in some ways... still in order...(odd)... never to be discovered by my passengers, who ride...then go out into the world...sometimes bewildered...sometimes numb and content...

 
  Passengers
 
"....did you check out the fine print", someone whispered, huddled in the back seat, red eyed and sad...I thought I knew what he meant but I was too tired to answer...he couldn't possibly have known what deals I had made way back when...when things seemed logical and simple...and planners were only dreaming of ATM machines...

  Travel
 

...it was a refuge, my room in the west end suburbs...where I could wallpaper to my heart's content...yet no matter how still I maintained my soul, the miles continued in my mind...
