Station 9 Haiku

So another night passes at my fire station 609. Nothing. Not a wheel was turned.

So to celebrate this so unusual occasion (sarcasm chip on overdrive), I wrote some haiku.









Duty is fulfilled
No calls were run, no wheels turned
Same again next week
*
Again at house 9
Silence, safety - prevailing peace
Firemen wait, hoping…
*
The public is safe
Not because we are so skilled
Nothing happens here
*
My crew and I wait
Waiting to help, maybe save
Still we sit, waiting
*
Sirens, lights flashing
Racing against time, to save
That's for other crews
*
Echo in our dreams
Tires screech, crashing sounds then fire
Then we wake, nothing.

*
Sense a common theme perhaps?
