Crack Run

A guy gets in my cab with a baby girl
It's been raining for four days and the streets are slick
Do you have a car seat
I ask
No
He says
We have to wait for my mom
He adds
A couple minutes later she shows up
I shouldn’t take you without a car seat
I say
We just pray to God
She says
A car seat would be more effective I think
Where to
I ask
Seventh street and Buckeye and back
She says
Will you do it for forty bucks
She asks
I’ll do it for whatever the meter reads
I say
I will be in and out
She adds
The baby is on her father's lap
I shouldn’t do this I think

But I'm as greedy as they are stupid

Poor kid I think
