A slice of pineapple <br />Juice drips down his grubby face <br />Flies too want a share <br /> <br />He smokes cigarettes <br />Lying in a pensive mood <br />Life is not easy <br /> <br />Cars zoom up and down <br />At midnight in the big city <br />Insomnia thrives <br /> <br />Books are quickly closed <br />Knowledge stays between the covers <br />Ignorance prevails<br /><br />Sandra Martyres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/senryus-4/
