Keep My Shape
by Gabe


I’m a circle
in a world full of rectangles.

I’ve been inserted
against their sharp corners
and flat edges.

I pushed hard
to keep my shape
and it turned out
that I was exactly
what the rectangles needed
to succeed.

But there are so many of them
and there
is only one of me.

Being that
I am playing on their puzzle board,
I am very eager
to prove myself.

They are just as eager
to prove themselves to me.
