Metre Taxi

is verse in metre or not in metre
like the difference between
cab ride with the metre running
compared with cab ride with the metre off

no idea how much it will cost
how much it is costing
until you get where you’re going

how much, you ask
and the driver pulls a figure
out of his hat or out of his head
