Slight Retrospective

These last few days have seen an improvement of the mind
For the last few I have woken up normal
Instead of with a depressive hangover
I am enjoying the time off
And my mind slowly clearing
I can't go back to full swing of taxi driving
Because time off has allowed me to concoct other plans
But I fully intend to keep my badge
I like taxi driving
I do
It's a marmite type job
And I am of the 'I like it' type

I have given it some thought
And it is a combination of unknowns and challenges
Most jobs are known and without good degree of challenge
One would climb into the cab at the start of the day
Not knowing how it was going to pan out
You need good tactics and good decisions to earn the money
And to apply these you need to maintain clear concentration
As you tire
The tactics lapse and the decisive mistakes are made
Each ride the mind would rattle through routes
Interpret the punters needs
Consider road conditions and traffic
That were constantly being evaluated throughout the day
As the whole scene moved in an ever changing flux
New problems were always emerging
Pressing on me to decide what to do with them
It is the most mentally wearing job I have ever done
It was truly a bottomless pit
And I had definitely become captive to its madness

During my wembly visit
Where I made a pretty good unawares effort to kill myself
The host of the party that I went to was bending my ear
For me to help her brother out
In getting started with taxi driving in Brighton
I told her that it would take him some time to get a grip of it
But that I would do my best to help him out
He called me two days after I had had my license suspended
And with a bar like bend of irony
He not only had my best tactics at his disposal
He also had my cab
Having bumped into my former cabmaster quite by chance
As he was overheard asking a question outside the office
It all had a feeling of roundedness and tied ends
