Facial ID

[Doreen Peri]

My phone didn’t recognize my face
for a minute. I couldn’t get in it.
Probably ‘cause of frowns or some other
blubber, tears or a slight veer from my
normal demeanor or somewhere in between
perfectly normal and not. I have no clue why
to be truthful. All I got is this not-so-youthful
expressions of dismay. Why wouldn’t my phone
open with my face like it was supposed to?

Most of you don’t have an answer, I see.
What a stupid idea, Facial ID.

Our expressions can change dramatically and
the me you would see last week or even yesterday
is completely different than the me you’d see today!
This is a grand technological fail! I’m the insignificant
warning, soon to be large scale
because my phone didn’t recognize my face
for a minute. I couldn’t get in it.

(This is serious business! Don’t laugh)
