Assurance Vocabulary Desk – Internal Notes

Haikus

Document the truth
The manual stands unchanged
Quiet policy

Read the written rule
Meaning drifted long ago
Paper still remains

Binding by the word
System waits for compliance
Never fully works

The notes are empty
We recorded the blank space
Process is complete

Do not write the truth
Ink will only stain the file
Leave the paper white

The internal log
Meets without an audience
Silent room agrees

We redact the past
Errors fade into the dark
Archive is pristine

Fold the memo twice
Hide it in a dusty drawer
Never to be read
