Ribbon Latency

Haikus

The scissors are sharp \nBut the ribbon will not cut \nWaiting for the cheer

The doors are ajar \nBut the mood has gone to sleep \nNo one walks inside

Opening the gates \nLong after the crowd went home \nRibbon falls alone

Scissors cut the air \nThree weeks after we went home \nFiling is complete

Ribbon sits untouched \nWhile the forms declare it cut \nMetrics are fulfilled

Time-stamp logs the cheer \nSystem cuts the string alone \nNo one needs the flesh
