aren't you uber?

a man gets into my car
turns to me
and says one hundred main street.
do i know you,
i ask him.
aren't you uber, he says.
no, i tell him.
i'm not uber.
well, do you mind taking me
to main street,
i'm really late.
he pulls out a twenty dollar
bill, then another.
go fast, he says, step on it.
and this is how you
begin a new
phase in your life.
