Blurry

6/25/2020 ☼ poems

a few pixels across,
does ‘enhance’ exist
like it does in the
movies? no,
a black man was arrested
because a blurry picture
of a suspect 
looked like 
him, even algorithms
are racist.
if they ever get a 
blurry picture of 
me, they may arrest 
me for improper
kerning or
too-loose leading,
people who look 
and
dress like me 
don’t get arrested
or suspected
and it doesn’t take
AI to know
that’s bullshit.
