Charles Henderson Poet Senryu

Hiroshima

Destruction falling
See baby doctor at ten...
Little boy coming

Not to make light of dropping an atomic bomb, but when one stops and thinks of all the 
normal every day things going through the minds of those people while Little Boy is falling, at 
8:15  am, It is really sad.  Something like 140,000 died instantly. Charles
