This taxi smells of sandalwood and upholstery dust, an undertone of engine grease and sweat. The vinyl dashboard is shades of beige and taupe, and a cassette protrudes from the tape deck. All this so like my own string of tired cars on our long commutes to school back in my undergrad years. I’m participatingContinue reading “Small stone #13”
