Puzzle Crunching

By Clayton Grow

A fresh start with new pieces

that plug into the old

around the edges.

Each new feature shines

like bright in cans

waiting to decorate design.

Function first: black puzzle pieces.

Form beforehand: Big Picture Disconnect.

Rehearse the delicate dance of

Aesthetical Utility.

A vision of the Finished Thing

guides otherwise

arbitrary choices.

Endorphins released

as pieces click into place

only occasionally repainted.
