five little pieces

"18-04-2004"
but today
five little pieces
fit
you don't know
sixty five thousand
five hundred and thirty five
colours
until you have to sift 
through them all
but today
five little pieces
of the million piece puzzle
fit
yet it is getting late
and
by now
i should have had so much more to show
so much more
finished
but today
five little pieces
of the million piece puzzle
fit
hardly complete
so much better
than never begun
if only i had the cover
the grand final picture
so i may copy, compare....
then again if i could see it
in it's entirety
would i ever
start at all?
but today
five little pieces
of the million piece puzzle
fit
hardly complete
so much better
than never begun
and the five that sit locked
just look like they might
form the image
of the corner
of a smile
upon my face
