The Taxi Home


It had become dawn. The sky continued to brighten and gain color. I couldn't understand how the temperature had remained the same from the night before. We had stayed on the roof until dawn and the temperature hadn't changed a bit.

We grabbed a cab at the end of Orchard out of the city, over the Williamsburg Bridge back to Brooklyn. "Grab the second exit. Take a left and a quick right all the way down to Bushwick..." directed my benefactor. "You can go right here too, right?" questioned the Cabbie.

"Yeah... but there are more stoplights that way." "Good. You know that. A lot of people don't know. You gotta know more than the cabbie. Some of 'em are idiots." the Cabbie laughed.
