Kansas City, 10th and Main

Midwest Voices contributing columnist: Tom Ryan

The Kansas City Star

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?
