How do the words used to describe the poem’s arrest help contribute to the idea that the arrest in the poem is unjust?

This poem will be guilty. It assumed it retained
the right to ask its question after the page
came up flush against its face. The purpose
this poem serves is obvious, even to this poem,
and that cannot stop the pen or the fist
choking it. How the page tastes at times—unsalted
powerlessness in this poem’s mouth, a blend
of that and what it has swallowed of the news. It spits
blood—inking. It is its own doing and undoing.
This poem is trying to compose itself. It has
the right to remain either bruised or silent,
but it is a poem, so it hears you’d be safer
if you stopped acting like a poem, ceased resisting.
Where is the daylight (this poem asks and is thus crushed) between existence and resistance,
between the now-bloodied page and the poem? 
Another poem will record the arrest of this poem,
decide what to excerpt. That poem will fail—
it won’t find the right metaphor for the pain
of having to lift epigraphs from the closing
words of poems that were accused of resisting. 
That poem is numb. This poem is becoming
numb, already losing feeling in its cuffed phrasing.
No one will remember the nothing of which
this poem was accused—just that it was another
poem that bled. This poem never expected to be
this poem, yet it must be—for you who will not
acknowledge the question. This poem knew
it was dangerous to ask why?

Answer:

this is great! first of all, the beginning line is so definite and foreboding "this poem will be guilty".

there is a sense of impotence on the part of the poem where the author personifies the poem itself. this is illustrated in the way it is described as numb,

" unsalted powerlessness"

"it has the right to remain bruised or silent"

" this poem will fail."

" this poem knew it was dangerous to ask why?"

The words presented in the poem show how those accused of imprisonment are powerless and cannot do anything to free them from being arrested and convicted. This shows how unjust imprisonment is.

By reading the poem, we can see that:

  • The poem presents itself as something that is impotent and that cannot fight against the injustice that is being established.
  • The poem is sentenced to prison and the speaker presents words like "cannot stop," "choking," "remain [...] bruised or silent," "numb" among others that show how the poem cannot defend itself.
  • This shows how the prison the poem is going to is dangerous, as it condemns people unfairly and does not allow them to help themselves.
  • At the end of the poem, we see that the speaker, through prison behavior, understands that the poem is dangerous, but he doesn't see anything to justify it.

With this, we can conclude that the poem addresses the dangerousness and aggressiveness of literary censorship, which can condemn texts that did not commit any crime.
