Slouched in the front seat
newspaper rolled up
tossed aside
face hidden behind the visor
a taxi man called for hire

and you tap on the backseat window
a door clicks to be opened
you would deposit your daily load
don't talk to strangers we're told
so you crease a seat...slip inside
another sees how carefully you hide....

observed through a rear-view mirror
a slouched form stretched
ready to grasp a steering wheel...
you detect a rasp...a voice...
where will it be?
along a road..up a tree?

Now how many have indicated where to go
to find there's no real place on show
yet we set the stage for increased pace
cover blemishes with hand woven lace;
there lies a tension between a passanger of sorts
and a face behind the taxi visor in retort....

Of commands that stand the test of time
like multiply go forth, seek and find;
to find the place for us to reach
it's a destiny from backseats we seek.
