Pocket Consensus

Haikus

We agree right here \nDo not take it to the board \nIt will surely die

A nod in the hall \nThat is all the proof we need \nPocket the consent

Keep it in the dark \nCommittees will crush the truth \nWe know what is right

Before room is full \nWe agree to leave it blank \nFiling is complete

Nod in corridor \nAccidental policy \nNow we must comply

Stamp the tiny truth \nFile it in the trash bin now \nPerfectly secure

Do not draw the map \nScale will only ruin it \nLeave it as a stub

Whisper in the hall \nGrows into a sacred law \nHide it from the board

Two clerks merely nod \nSystem logs critical threat \nQuarantine the floor

Consensus is reached \nData entered in the form \nNothing happens next

Do not stretch the fact \nCommittees will tear the seams \nKeep the pocket closed
