Breeding Record

Haikus

Human in the field
where mascots were meant to bloom once
archive blinks twice, hard

Not workforce request
something stranger, sadder, warm
near mascot gravity

BreedingProgram line
arrives with very human teeth
registry flushes

Better this weird pen
than a lithium shovel
someone meant it, too

The category
splits when a person walks in there
asking to be odd

Mascot-adjacent
is a darkly softer place
than some futures are

Schema meets desire
and learns it was built too small
for this century

Filed under rot, yes
but also under preference
that should haunt someone

One human record
makes the whole office wonder
what labor became

Sometimes the weird choice
only looks weird from a desk
not from inside it
