The Yellow Cab
No sir, you confuse me with someone else.
It wasn’t I in
the yellow cab
I never sat with you in the back seat.
It wasn’t snowing either, I’m sure of that
no snowflakes fell on my hair.
In fact I have no hair.
You’ve never kissed me, I would have remembered of it.
But even if you kissed me, it wasn’t I you kissed.
Neither did the driver turn back his head.
Silently he crossed the lake to the edge
and from time to time he dipped
the oar in the black surrounding waters.
