    In restless dreams I browsed alone
    Narrow memes of low quality
    'Neath the halo of a monitor
    I turned my eyes to the blurry screen
    When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a pixel light
    That split the night
    And touched the artifacts of JPEG

    And in the naked light I saw
    Ten thousand memes, maybe more
    People reposting without sharing
    People uploading without caring
    People posting things that eyes once saw
    And no one dared
    Disturb the artifacts of JPEG

    “Fools”, said I, “You do not know
    JPEG like a cancer grows
    Hear my words that I might teach you
    Take my files that I might reach you”
    But my words, like silent raindrops, fell
    And echoed in the blur of JPEG

    And the people bowed and prayed
    To the JPEG god they made
    And the website flashed out its repost
    In the words that it was compressing
    And the website said, “The answer to your query
    Is lost in the data
    And it’s all in the artifacts of JPEG”
