Cross-Lodge Intake Briefing – Fragment

Haikus

\nDocument the truth \nThe manual stands unchanged \nQuiet policy\n\n\n\nRead the written rule \nMeaning drifted long ago \nPaper still remains\n\n\n\nBinding by the word \nSystem waits for compliance \nNever fully works\n

Words are cut in half
We forgot the second part
Stamp the forms approved

Voices in the room
No one wrote the lecture down
Silence is preserved

They brought older forms
Culture dies inside the queue
Fold the paper twice

Do not speak of it
Accreditation means nil
Dust upon the seal

Partial notes remain
Context rots into the floor
File the empty shell
