scratches and a dent

i had almost forgotten
the yellow taxi, (almost an over sized soap box)
that was parked outside the row of doors
green, red and blue

this morning i saw that again
at the same place and on its side it had
three new scratches and a dent
that i do not remember seeing - when i
had seen it last

until next time, when i'd have almost
forgotten it again, if i am to remember
that yellow taxi, (an almost soap box)
i'll only remember it with the

scratches and the dent
