Roofless

no lines wait outside

for the lock to click open

public libraries are closed

city plaza gates shut tight

lonely benches

sit empty inside

it ain’t easy

to shelter in place

if you got no place

roofless humans

gather on Main Street

loiter in doorways

lady in coat and heels

walks her dog, averts her eyes

stares at ground
