you drive,
but you're not driving.
the app decides.

you don’t see the passengers,
you see the rating.
you don’t chase the money,
you chase the surge.

it's not a job.
it's a slot.
you clock in
to chase nothing
but next.

you are free
the way a fly is free
inside a bottle.

no benefits,
no boss,
no floor to fall through
because the floor was never there.

they call it flexibility.
what they mean
is disposability.

they rebranded waiting.
called it hustling.
and made you thank the app
for gas money.
