Oh, melodious city!
I breathe in your beat and walk in your waves.
Kansas’ welcome mat;
your tune is vibrant, your people free.
Your walks meet constant feet of angel-headed hipsters,
guitar-strapped backs,
up and down Massachusetts Street,
seeking music and a drink.
Homeless seek shelter in your friendly sidewalks;
you are forgiving.
Yellow sunshine motley city,
jayhawkers for the free state
to educate, stand firm, and liberate.
A bird eats breadcrumbs off my plate.
Gentle, unflinching finch
and me, together enjoying the oasis—
