Pocket Consensus

Haikus

We agree right here
Do not take it to the board
It will surely die

A nod in the hall
That is all the proof we need
Pocket the consent

Keep it in the dark
Committees will crush the truth
We know what is right

Before room is full
We agree to leave it blank
Filing is complete

Nod in corridor
Accidental policy
Now we must comply

Stamp the tiny truth
File it in the trash bin now
Perfectly secure

Do not draw the map
Scale will only ruin it
Leave it as a stub

Whisper in the hall
Grows into a sacred law
Hide it from the board

Two clerks merely nod
System logs critical threat
Quarantine the floor

Consensus is reached
Data entered in the form
Nothing happens next

Do not stretch the fact
Committees will tear the seams
Keep the pocket closed
