Form 32-A

Haikus

Two Form 32-As
share one chair in the registry
both insist they fit

Access or distress
pick a ritual, any one
the number shrugs back

Identifier
meant to narrow the hallway down
opens two doors wide

Catalog breathes dust
downstream systems start guessing now
guessing gets a stamp

Collision sounds sharp
this one wore soft office shoes
still broke both ankles

Same code, separate gods
filers bring the wrong offerings
and call it workflow

Consolidation
found two meanings in one shell
paper swallowed both

Roulette by stub name
is a bleak administrative
party trick, at best

Number loses nerve
when it has to mean too much
hallway fog rolls in

If the form code blinks
and cannot say what it is
back away from it
