Two Pegs

Cube meets cylinder
One is pink
the other is blue
both sleek, smooth and solid
Created and shaped to fit
Fit with a puzzle

One time they pass
A second time nearer still
Then a third and fourth
They are formally introduced

They meet
Observe
Exchange
Dance?
No.
No dancing.

Cube is too square
Cylinder too curvy
One supports
The other rolls on and on and on

Round peg doesn't fit
No clicking or snapping in place
Cube has empty corners remaining
Round peg is uncomfortable

They came
They saw
Their pieces did not fit

Two pegs stand alone now
One wonders-
How?
Where?
When?
Will I?
Can I find the empty mold or cutter?

The one especially made for me
