Ledger Snarl

Haikus

Both of them are right
Arbiter holds them both still
Progress is frozen

Records disagree
Neither outcome wants to yield
Snarl cannot be fixed

Truth is tied in knots
Accounting cannot proceed
The snag wins again

Both facts claim the spot
Humans caused the log to break
Nothing is aligned

Two files stamp it true
Merger crashes in the void
Print them both as one

Hold the pages still
Neither version will agree
Progress hides away

Tables fight it out
The tribunal goes to sleep
Status is retained

Clerks will type and sigh
Conflict sits on both the lines
Let the system wait
