sacrifices to fit

I can't decide whether I'm the child or the piece of puzzle...

Have you ever seen a child doing a puzzle for the first time?

It wants the pieces to fit, it wants them to work together

but it has never learned how to achieve that

So it takes a piece and looks for a space

not considering its colors or its form

it pushes the piece down -

first with one finger, then two

then using the whole fist

harder and harder

forcing the piece to bend

to change its form

just to make it fit

to the piece next to it
