Schema Violation

Haikus

Seventeen records
sprouted fields no schema knew
catalog: squatter

vibeIndex arrived
moodLeak followed quietly
charm is not a law

They entered by inch
one tiny addition each
drift posed as a source

Datty came with knife
for metadata living free
three fields met the ban

The purge had a rite
as though structure said a prayer
then Datty just clicked

One clerk said: those fields
helped explain the human entries
schema said: perhaps not

Three fields were expunged
not deprecated, not rolled back
deleted so hard

Forms Graveyard sent note
asking kindly for them back
no reply was made

You don’t get the flood
in one dramatic loud thud
you get one dumb key

If records grow limbs
call Datty, but understand:
cleanings leave a mark
