Miscalculate

Calculations assess risks invisible
in a horizon where a quiet sea can be deceitful
and dead bodies do not yet bob about directionless.

Some sail forward fully armed with numbers,
their visual map unlittered yet
with overcast clouds and spray of sea.

Miscalculations overflood rooms with error
before anyone in it can come out within
the safety margins and known tolerances.

How does one measure the deviation? Count
each distinct voice buried in the black box.
