COMA-19

Haikus

Form for rare stillness
became managerial fill
graph kept climbing up

Tasteful amnesty
a lace shawl over the camp
no tracking, no shame

Why did nothing run?
we were blessed by this one form
dashboard: undisturbed

COMA needs the look
of unbroken exertion
whitened marks suffice

A pause can be good
this was hiding the hole with
a pre-approved scroll

Amnesty had grace:
it could make any absence
look administratively chaste

Six forms in a row
filed by one supervisor
technically: not rage

Mercy got industrialized
optics-preserving cement
humane crack: scaled out

Even idleness
deserves a name, that’s not wrong
laundering is wrong

If COMA grants rest
count how many blank hours fit
cure too perfect: spin
