Cogitating the existence Of another world The puzzler is snapped out of their stupor The one piece that will simply not fit Glares at the puzzler Just mocking them Aren't we all Just pieces that will simply not fit In the grander puzzle This world is strange This world is unknown This world is impossible A thought drifts down to the puzzler From the sky above Striking them like a bolt And they realize with a jolt What if They'd only been trying the wrong way What if They simply needed to look at this From a new perspective What if They considered the form of the piece Instead of the ones around it In order to solve This confounding puzzle

The Puzzler

Cogitating the existence Of another world The puzzler is snapped out of their stupor The one piece that will simply not fit Glares at the puzzler Just mocking them Aren't we all Just pieces that will simply not fit In the grander puzzle This world is strange This world is unknown This world is impossible A thought drifts down to the puzzler From the sky above Striking them like a bolt And they realize with a jolt What if They'd only been trying the wrong way What if They simply needed to look at this From a new perspective What if They considered the form of the piece Instead of the ones around it In order to solve This confounding puzzle

we’re like a puzzle, dear. a constant struggle to find our match, the piece with which we fit. and all the while referring to the example on the box, an image of a puzzle perfectly plenary, cookie-cutter courtships of two jagged-edged squares just looking to fit in. and the sea of polygonal cacophony, swept by the tides spawned from the puzzler’s searches, grows ever-increasingly frantic as the elusive match hides amongst the others, like a needle in that hellish and predictable haystack. in impatience, he concedes to the concealing pile, and continues on to the next piece of the puzzle. but he’ll return, for the game will not be complete until we two final pieces meet.
