Sombre Haikus for Many Occasions

Dangerous neighbourhoods:
Don’t you go to sleep
Without locking the back door
These parts just aren’t safe.

Kidnapping
Why is her light on?
Was somebody else in there?
Oh god – call the cops.

Burglary
The front door’s ajar
They took our damn wedding bands
Our life is ruined.

Redundancy
We need to talk, hon.
A machine does my job now.
Faster than I did.

Divorce
We love you lots bub,
But we don’t love each other.
Why are you crying?
