Taxi Please

Today,
black cabs can be
red, blue, green
even silver.


Because black (and white)
is never that simple.


There’s always a clause
between the lines
trying to rip you off.


Just like those
(never) black cabs.

 - Taxi Please.

In a list

Please tell me what you think

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    Very Enjoyable

    Your title,'Taxi Please',had a very appealing sound to it,it compelled me to read this poem and must I say I was not a bit dissapointed- ithas a rather refreshing ring to it- it is so open to interpretation -'Today,black cabs can be red, blue, green even silver.'-you can expect anything -just about anything at all-'Because black (and white)
    is never that simple.'- I have to agree here both black and white are so empowered -'There’s always a clause between the lines trying to rip you off.Just like those (never) black cabs.'-the unexpecting expectable-the last line too sums up the matter of fact tone of the poem - about and life continues,'Taxi Please'

    Hey I assume its about the great divides of life at large...I am not sure if i understood right....
    You have been very crisp in carrying the flow of this one...

    I was looking for your author notes...

    Anyway...Enjoy....

    God Bless!!!

      It's just about how things are never just what they seem these days. There's always a catch. I didn't think I needed authors notes as I thought it was clearly said in the poem. Word for word almost. Thanks for your comment.
