⟡ SWANK Closure Dispatch, Final Addendum ⟡
9 February 2024
When Your System Requires Sound to Hear, It’s Already Broken
I. Verbal Closure, Written with Finality
A week of repeated refusals culminates in one line, issued via iPhone:
“I will not speak verbally anywhere.”
— Polly Chromatic
It is not an option.
It is a legal boundary, an access doctrine, a quiet refusal in perfect defiance.
Not in-person.
Not on the phone.
Not for you.
II. Institutional Ignorance in Four Easy Steps
What did RBKC Children’s Services ignore?
❌ No verbal phone calls
❌ No in-person meetings
❌ Documented asthma = communication disability
❌ Legal representation confirmed
❌ Referral already addressed, nothing new disclosed
Samira Issa read it all. Then asked again.
That isn’t care. That’s systemic recursion with a badge.
III. Written Sovereignty in a Spoken-World System
This isn’t defiance.
It’s functional autonomy under duress.
Written communication is participation.
Verbal coercion is exclusion.
Polly doesn’t owe another explanation.
She wrote it once. It now enters the permanent legal record.
