Gown of Recognition

Haikus

Finally seen now
Wearing the approved fabric
Visibility

Honor in the thread
Recognized by management
Take it off by five

Cloth covers nothing
But the system sees a shape
Acknowledged at last

Clothing hides the void
You are seen by management
Ceremony ends

Fabric on a ghost
System scans the proper shape
Agency denied

Honor is a cloak
Waiting for a printed badge
Nobody inside

Seen by management
Wear the official fabric
Now go back to work

Finally we see
You are wearing the blue gown
Visible at last

Ceremony ends
Fold the garment in the box
You are ghosts again

Dignity assigned
Please return it by tonight
We resume decay
