Round 9 – Haiku Bob: same but different

 

cat mauling
same
but different

 

handball chain –
floodlights casting shadows
we cannot touch

 

second-half collapse
the ground strewn
with dead leaves

 

goal after goal
the bathroom tap
that won’t turn off

 

sinking to defeat
the night’s slow
death

 

leaving the game early
streaks of rubber
on the road

 

trying
to sleep off the loss
a yowling cat
