Cab #3834

Date Taken: 1/04/08
From: The Loop
To: Albany Park
The Cab: I’d been standing in the cold trying to get a cab for ten minutes. When a cab finally pulled up I was too relieved to notice which cab company it belonged to. It was a white car with a large red circle painted on the side. The Hinomaru taxi service? Whatever. Arigatou, pal.
The Reason: I couldn’t carry a laptop and the two magnums of Champagne that arrived from California that morning. And let me offer you some advice: if you’re single, don’t take the Napa Valley wine tour by yourself. You’re going to be the only unattached person in a tour bus full of newlyweds pinching each other and giggling. No one is going to talk to you and they’ll make you sit in the “single” seat by the door. And when that door opens – a total of nine times during the tour – it’s going to hit you in the knee. At the end of the day, at the sixth and final vineyard, you and your bruised knee will sit on the patio at the Chandon winery. And as the artificial mist settles over your sun-warmed skin every four and a half minutes and the breeze blows through the withered Pinot Meunier leaves you’re going to get very depressed. You’re going to wonder what you’ve done with your life. And a nice looking man in a tuxedo is going to keep filling your Champagne glass. After several glasses he’s going to ask you to join a Champagne club – the Sparkling Circle – where you will receive shipments of fine Chandon champagne every few months which will allow you to drink yourself into a dream world where you’ve made far better life choices. And you’re going to do it. Yes you are.

Feed My Steel Bird
I and I, bent on justice,
Have you in
Mind.
Heart flattened by a wind
Lorry.
I and I bide like a hawk on a
Spire.
Sinner, sucker, self-serving
motherfucker: stay out of the park. I and I wait patiently atop the spire of
New
Pru.
