• A mosaic
    Of harlequin squares.
    A triple cubed kaleidescope.
    3 x 3 x 3

    I marvel at the organized clutter.

    But- what if?
    If colour could collect,
    clump, combine-
    3 x 3 x 3

    An irresistible notion; I decide

    To Solve It.
    And I set out- twisting
    This way and that.
    3 x 3 x 3

    Baffled. Stumped and offended.

    I search for support.
    YouTube, "Solve the Cube" volumes;
    step by step instructions.
    3 x 3 x 3

    Self Help Books.

    Finally, I sit, and stare
    At the static toy
    that has me beat.
    3 x 3 x 3

    I think I broke my brain.
