this is just what exactly i wrote, i was 10 minutes late for the 20 minute writing @ the Veterans Writing Workshop led by Loni Ann (Leloni)
i am not a taxi driver, it is a workshop, and we were to write about i have a dream and the word that i picked, i was supposed to pick 3, but only picked one – taxi driver!
🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖
Taxi driver, I have a dream
🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖
Another fucking fare, and this is all I could get, is another road to nowhere
I listen to the dreams being whispered in my ear
To the dreams being jubilantly shared with co-fairs and I in despair
Barely do I have money to pay the bills for this dump shit where I live
Barely do I have enough money to get me day old food and other crap I don’t need
🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖
When I am taking my fares to the penthouse suites
When I am taking my fares to Beverly hills
When I am taking my drunk ass fares to their lovers house affair
When I am taking my fare to boulevards and parks
🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖
My fares in the morning, going to their sky high offices
Because they grew up with the opportune time in hand not mine
My fares some of them worked their asses off, and got the luck that they needed
To be my fare
🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖
So my share, yes, too I have a dream
To go to the places that I drive my fares
To have my home in Beverly hills
Whoever Beverly is, I want to live right next to her
Or butted up next to the national forest with acres of views in every direction
I want to get my groceries delivered from whole foods, trader joes, and gourmet caterers
🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖 🚕🚖
Yes I have a dream to have a driver too, to go finished what I started at school – the Universities of every opportunity for me, to share my art and love for people, society, civility
I have a dream to not have trauma overwhelm me
I have a dream to see in the eyes of the Reverend Dr. Martin King jr.
In cultural appreciation, and all people contributing to this dream
The dream where we all pull one another up, one helping 10 and 10 helping 1 etc.
