  1. L2 indicates that the free-standing simple structure in L1 is a makeshift shelter most likely used by a unhoused person.

    And L3 not only enhances the tone and mood of this homelessness haiku, but also implies its detrimental effects on the structure of Ls 1&2.

    The following haiku could be read as a sequl to Robert's:

    alley frost
    except
    where he slept
