Puzzling Would Be Truer

      to its name
       if

      puzzles were edgeless
   and glossy blue on both sides

                                  or whatever color

              folks wouldntsit around
chitchatting
  while they link together

the
straight
pieces
of
the
outside and laughing

         about that and those and this
  while they build

that
  cloud

                        those
            birds and                                  t
                                                            r
          this                     e

                    basket     
                                                      
if puzzles were edgeless
   and glossy blue on both sides

                                  or whatever color
     
    then the folks who do them

while doing them

               would lift their brows
            in silent recognition that they

             need

      humans really need
                     borders and patterns
