Women's Poetry 7-3 Sunday, March 02, 2008 Shirley By Melissa Dey Hasbrook At the corner of Michigan and Penn Aves. in Lansing, MI. I saw Shirley today hospital gown worn yesterday her ankles swelled unsocked when she sat on concrete and asked me to take her bag across the street wanted to catch a bus but she couldn't stand as she scooted forward I saw she wet herself she lives in a park says she feels safer there than the Mission (it's for men) and the VOA is dangerous she says I told information across the street a woman needs help a hospital owns wheelchairs she wanted one to travel five lanes of traffic
