    An intriguing piece. Work life as a taxi driver also means being a therapist, teacher and parent. I expect you could write a book just on your experiences.

    Its very heartening to see you have disability access to your cab because so many taxi firms either refuse to take wheelchairs (even if you can transfer to a seat) and others won't guarentee that their drivers won't charge an extra fee for the wheelchair each way.

    Such simple honest though slick words. Some delicate storytelling skill there to be explored.

    I don't know if you've ever mentioned you're a taxi driver before on here, but I had no idea and I loved that the last line was that big reveal. I'm sure there's always an interesting story with people! This was super fun to read and it kept me guessing til the end :)

    I can say it's a funky poem! It's so simple yet shows some depth to a certain level. You are very genuine in your writing that it actually meant something for me as a stranger reading a poem about your personal life. I think the poem deserves a better title to be honest, it's a good write. Started as a note, continued as a story, finished as a poem. I love this character of this poem, it's new for me!
