Form 27-B

Haikus

Survey asks, politely,
does this process feel too long now
please sign here six times

Burden measured by
adding one more burden first
clean methodology

Red tape fills the room
someone writes enough already
comment redacted

Satisfaction form
heavier than what it weighs
clipboard eats the scale

Three offices sign
that the signing feels normal, fine
nobody believes

Metrics come back low
committee forms to ask why
the answer signs in

One complaint sprouts wings
appendices gather dust
the dust signs as well

Procedure flowers
from the corpse of self-awareness
still called feedback loop

Every extra pen
proves the point more elegantly
than the questions do

If a form asks you
whether forms are crushing you now
count the staplers first
