   I guess this happens, after a disaster or war but it is solid misery as a concept and a thought provoking haiku.

   This is good. It's easy and comfortable for us (westerners/internet users/academics - though not RK) to forget that the majority of mankind lives this close to the edge (and sadly many slip off). Not just after a disaster or war, Craig, this is the common lot of most of humanity all the way from birth to death, with no letup.
   
   It's good to be reminded that the situation of most of us reading this, is not the normal human situation at all, but a pleasant aberration. Thanks poet, for the perspective.

   homeless
   winter's warmth ...
   bitter thoughts

   our glaring poverty
   on the floor
   roofhole sunbeams

   below zero--
   cardboard box
   his boston brownstone

   all night silence
   faint heartbeat ...
   count the seconds

   sound sleep --
   counting drips
   from the faucet
