American Woman, She Needs No Ride
“Taxi? You need a taxi Miss a ride?” Asks Mr. African Yellow cab driver
“No thank you” She hurries away looking towards her destination, the terminal entrance.
“These American Women! ” Mr. African Yellow cab driver murmurs in disgust to his friend
“What about us?” She wants to yell back, but she gives him a reprieve.
She has no time to show her American Woman sass.
