Monday

you're paying for a silent drive
a private ride
falling in and out
on tinted windows
alongside the taxis
4 am
lakeshore

i'd offer you doors
and roll carpets at your feet
hold umbrellas and
lay down bugatti coats
without concern
for anyone behind us
-it's just a view for them

you're looking at me
i'm driving with my thumb
and index
you're blurring the separation
between us
i'm rolling up the partition
between us
