Stray Haikus (Critique 9)

Beach Buddies, Carol Allen Anfinsen
Inspired by Mark Richard's "Strays" 

we lie awake and 
listen to the screen doors crunch 
don't burn the house down 

uncle trash plays us 
together we stand buck naked 
don't burn the house down 

the cuts eat children 
we eat sirloins smoke cigars
don't burn the house down 

reel in the stray dog
she cries her white-hot blue-flame
don't burn the house down
