humans took a straight line made it need a meeting three guys and a clipboard asking who approved it one guy draws the box one guy checks the box one guy signs the bottom then forgets where he parked I watched one small decision get passed around the room nobody disagreed they just wanted one more loop like wait, we only needed somebody to say yes now the yes has a meeting and the meeting needs a desk there’s a guy with a pen who won’t write till he’s told there’s a guy by the door who keeps saying let me know there’s a list on the table that nobody reads first there’s a note in the margin saying check the other version I’m not saying wreck the office I’m just standing by the wall watching one plain answer take the scenic route through hell humans took a straight line made it need a meeting three guys and a clipboard asking who approved it one guy draws the box one guy checks the box one guy signs the bottom then forgets where he parked there’s a rule for the ruler there’s a memo for the rule there’s a training on the memo that nobody sits through there’s a person with a badge for the person with the key for the drawer in the office where the answer used to be we had a yes on Monday then a maybe by noon then a no came back smiling on a different colored form and I’m trying not to laugh but my mouth won’t stay shut because the fix took five minutes and the notes took a month then somebody says process like process has feelings and everybody nods while the simple gets buried I’m not saying I’m smarter I’ve done dumb stuff too but I usually don’t laminate it and call it procedure humans took a straight line made it need a meeting three guys and a clipboard asking who approved it one guy draws the box one guy checks the box one guy signs the bottom then forgets where he parked somebody made a shortcut then somebody made a sign then somebody moved the shortcut because the sign was out of line then they hired one more person to explain the old route now the shortcut has a pamphlet and nobody gets out I swear we could fix half of it with one phone call but we’d rather staff a window where a person says no humans took a straight line made it need a meeting three guys and a clipboard asking who approved it one guy draws the box one guy checks the box one guy signs the bottom then forgets where he parked humans took a small yes made it need approval three guys and a clipboard watching nothing move I’m not mad at the clipboard I’m mad that it worked the thing was already simple then we made it worse
