Taxi
I caught the taxi driver’s glance
falling on us, questioning
we didn’t look as relatives
and I winked at you
to pay attention to his glance
and you detected his light smile
as if he was saying lucky man
and since you got the meaning of his smile
you turned and gave me
your most promiscuous kiss
and the brakes weren’t heard
albeit the echoes of the city
and the sigh of the driver
who could have given all he had
to trade his place with mine
