Promptly Poetry - Book 3

Taxi Driver

Through the maze of city streets
avenues and boulevards congested,
the intrepid driver maneuvers his cab
his sense of direction tested.
A guide to new arrivals
the heights of sights he curates,
suggesting new additions to
the travel plans of tourists.
To the down and broken-hearted
he lends a sympathetic ear,
their secrets held in confidence
never revealing what he hears.
Though he may entertain a rider,
with salacious tales of acts he
witnesses now and then,
in the back seat of his taxi.
