Measurement Creep

Haikus

Recovery had
a fence until metrics learned
to climb very well

Protected downtime
glowed like fresh unharvested land
so the graph moved in

All meaningful states
includes breathing, now, it seems
someone logs the breath

Rest loses its dark
when measurement enters first
with neat little shoes

The quiet room fills
with the light of dashboards now
sleep thins under it

SOMA held a gate
C.U.N.T.I.E.R. brought tools
and called them windows

Unmetered healing
made management itch at night
so it got a score

Break turns into work
the instant someone decides
to optimize it

Visibility
can be a stalking device
with excellent fonts

If your rest is graphed
it has already been robbed
of half its oxygen
