#1

There's a single, impossible puzzle
that plays upon my mind.

It is all odds and evens,
Too many straight edges,
Never enough curves.

A delicate contraption that
captures such hideous fascination.

They tell me it's an acquired taste,
and given their preferences,
I must bow my head and agree.

But it wears me down,
gnaws me to the bone,
and I become a face
I scarcely recognize.

My mouth spews curses
at this trickery,
This inward scrambling,
And I fall to my knees
with a sort of ease.

Yet, the puzzle remains,
as ever, a mystery.
