Senryu


 Rock and Roll

rock around the clock
the new baby
finally sleeps

after the quarrel
the sound
of silence

a homeless man
asleep in the doorway
walk on by

not his wife's lipstick
on his shirt
bad moon rising

two hours late
to get to work
it's the same old song

Failed Haiku
Rock & Roll issue
