Tribute to cab drivers as I take my leave from this freezing city.
To those who have toiled to bring us to safety.
To those who have carried our overloaded luggage bags with a smile no less than sincere.
To those who have held a plastic bag around our necks as we dump our worries and complications out of our systems.
To those who have offered a kind word or two when they see us huddled and crying on the way to the hospital.
To those who give arresting advice even though we deny them out of pride and prejudice.
To those who have worked tirelessly for their families.
To those who take long shifts upon their shoulders to send their kids to expensive schools and frown upon this trade.
To those who chug takeaway bags of kopi gao down their throats to feel a little more alive.
We see you, we see you now.
