Soul Cab Valentine

I stepped off the curb
and found myself in the soul cab
but this was not New York anymore
 
and yet it was uncanny how
I could tell by the way people walked
either bent into it or looking around
 
as if asking if it’s the job
of poetry to confound
you now you’ve found it
 
how something of you
just by reading it or hearing
gets trapped inside it forever
 
no matter what city
this your final $300 question
forty blocks to go
