Eco Taxis
Green ecotaxis gather at night
under gray concrete bridges
metal woodlice mounting each other
flash mirrors bump fenders rub wheels
stick exhaust pipes into each other
Radiators boil over, steam rises
oil drips amber from sump pans
transmission fluid leaks past seals
green water trickles from radiators
cooling systems fail in the heat
Ochre flakes fall from dented bodies
headlights wink in the darkness
turn signals blink red yellow red
springs relax tiredly under seats
taximeters explode in blue sparks
The door opens on tired hinges
you gingerly scramble inside
body odour rises from seatcovers
the clima is on the fritz and it costs
seventy pesos more than you expected.
