Paperless

Poem of the Month

Paperless

As of the implementation (application) of the system (entity)
to increase efficiency of output and streamline to improve (better serve) workflow portability and redundancy reduction and to seamlessly integrate, store, access, analyze, harness productivity, and increase ROI with a complete suite of capture tools, your efforts will be un-measurable.
You will no longer need
to view your stacks grow thinner as you’ll become so
efficacious there will be no results. Therefore you may come
to dream of butterflies, which may rise up
from a field of lilacs on 8½ x 11
wings of bright white acid free paper of ten percent post-consumer content that will not yellow or
crumble over time, and will land
expertly in green hanging files alphabetized in rows.
The more your output in invisible unified digital records management increases,
the more
you will feel compelled to speed home nights and make
labels, a corkscrew pasta of meaning
unraveling onto the table as your eyes go
dim in what you can only describe as a sort of
blindness of the corporeal, and the
doctors say mm, yes, it’s a new
kind of blindness they’ve been
seeing lately: They suspect
it’s environmental, and suggest
you take up pottery.
