down fifth avenue

as the cabbie swung the car
down fifth avenue
doing seventy miles an
hour, flinging us about
in the back seat,
i asked him in a serious
voice, just how many 
people does he kill each week
driving like this.
he looked back with a
kabob in his hand and laughed.
his gold tooth glimmering
in the sun which shone
through the grease splattered
windshield.
