I inherited a puzzle. 10,000 pieces. I counted.

No edges for frame, no edges in sight. the picture inscribed in a lost box I’ve not seen, no center to start from. no left. no right.

a picture without color, a drawing without line buried in my head, glimpses at a time

each piece looks the same, all covered in white nothing quite fits, I wish I had a knife. I swear i’m getting there, I’ll work all night…

a sliver here, a sliver there Look these two fit! 10,000 pieces… you start not to care

My puzzle has too many pieces I don’t think they all fit. I’ve done what I can. a new day has dawned, with this my work ceases

I leave this puzzle to you, my son take all these pieces, all 10,000. and One.

    Here’s another poem.

    AI wastes resources

    Good poem. This good and real piece of art you weote would hit harder without the fake AI art you included with it.
