Rubiks Cube, a 3D puzzle, a toy, invented in 1974
became a worldwide craze
called by many names over time
Magic Cube
Speed Cube
Puzzle Cube
Sliding Cube
those six sided faces of colored plastic
made for frustration . . . .
oh, I was lost in a maze of colors
often hope shone like a pebble in the gloom
it inspired tournaments
and beside Speed Tournaments, many other
one handed, feet solving, blind-folded, fewer moves
anyways, not sure about you . . . .
but I usually gave up
the cube shook the ocean of my sleep often
only the dedicated remained to solve the cube
but imagine . . .
a round, sphere puzzle like Rubik
and the drums of time rolled and ceased
and somebody did . . .
oh, clouds of joy sailed cross the sky
for the Impossiball, is a round sphere
that is scrambled . . . to be re-assembled
same concept
same frustration
and from its blue vase, the rose of day drops
for I still hold, that round sphere
that fits quite nicely in my hand . . .
