Refusal changes sign
when read from

       the returning side.

One clearance crossed
         only once.

The opposite register received it
without recording

        a transition;

for that brief interval,
each impression remaining legible

only against the pressure

the other side

      had held one step before.

At the landing,
the paired record closes

         complete.

The left margin ends there.

The right proceeds
         elsewhere,

carrying its final impression

into another rule.

Beyond the break,
the rail alone supplies

         continuity.

Each doorway keeps
its own address.

Each refusal enters
as a separate item,

then lends its final pressure

to the mark

     entered next.

The count proceeds
until audit returns

one missing entry—

the refusal bearing
the same hand

      that kept the count.
