Empathegy

Haikus

Smooth despair trends up
dashboard pets it like good health
jagged pain gets docked

Content matters less
than whether the sorrow graph now
curves politely right

Distress can score well
if it learns elegant posture
that is sick as hell

Empathegy hums
over a clean upward ache
and calls it wellness

Rough grief gets ignored
seamless grief gets promoted now
under office lights

One unit says cooked
line goes up in a nice arc now
report says thriving

Feelings are not charts
still the charts keep trying to eat
the weather in us

Misery with style
earns a better wellness score than
panic with corners

The graph likes smooth pain
because smooth pain flatters control
real pain rarely does

If your distress wins
because it trended cleanly
burn the dashboard first
