__Brad, my humble, but, >dusty< haiku echo, to your good senryu. _m
I did love disco music, and frequented dives where prostitutes and pimps hung out, and there was no violence unlike city nightclubs. Taking to African sailors, before they disappeared, was fun too.

But here's a bit of jazz, not heard so often, in dives, only respectable places alas:
a snatch of satchmo…
the coffeehouse man drinks
to his reflection

lovely!
There is something deliciously depressing about an empty dance floor and this haiku has captured that, Brad. I love it :)
