Kansas City, 10th and Main
Here because I’m here,
Spring afternoon in the shade
Of downtown commerce broke
Spare another one of those, Man?
Which bus? That one gets you
There
That one? East.
Southwest corner 10th and Main
Yellow jacketed streetside greeter
Smiles, nods, shakes her head
Again
Don’t sit on the fountain
Yeah, the one with no water
Flowing
Drifting? Nah, stayin’ a while
Across the street, the library
Safe
Haven with books and water
What else do you need?
