Plexus

The machine
doesn't recognise her, easily.
It labours to identify her.
The scanner fails to
read her fingerprints;
invalid data it states.
Error.
Biometric mismatch at other times.
She keeps cleaning her
calloused hands
time and again.
Finding faults with her body.
Retinal attendance displays the same.
Again, she blames her cataract for that.

However,
She's recognised, easily 
by everyone else,
in the very first instance.
At times, her side glimpse is enough 
for her to be spotted.

How difficult is it, 
I mean,
to recognise
a human being,
with a hunchback
and arthritis,
carrying office files here and there?
