FAULT
Above the line: we agreed on agenda items.
Below the line: someone's kid found the paint.
Above the line: fluorescent tubes replaced quarterly.
Below the line: a handprint still warm from the radiator.
Above the line: minutes taken, action items assigned.
Below the line: minutes lost, action taken anyway.
Above the line: the building knows your name.
Below the line: the building doesn't care.

is not a person.

when they stand in a doorframe too long,
waiting for the meeting to end
so they can go outside
and put their hands in something.
