those

square puzzles

we had as kids

plastic

a teaser with

one square missing

we’d have to move

the other

square pieces

within the frame

to make up the picture

i feel like i’ve

been doing that

for many years now

but the picture

keeps on changing

as i’m about to

crack the code

the squares change

sizes & colours

as i get closer

one piece away from

the finish

the complete image

shifts

points to something

else i needed to know

so many years

ago
