Theme #7 will be...

Missing a kick
at the icebox door
It closed anyway

This notable 'contemporary haiku' by Jack Kerouac mirrors #2's notably non-contemporary haiku. I like this form! A different Jack, as in my fellow letterclubber Jack, introduced me to both the contemporary haiku form as well as this poet as well as this poem specifically. Enjoy.

Oh, and please remember you don't have to make a game about the actual content of the poem. Make a haiku game. Make a game about futile actions. Make a game about whatever you feel. Don't justify yourself! This jam's themes are not here to be taken literally! Go wild.
