Round Space - a Poem

Dear Round Space, 

I thank you for your well wishes and words of wisdom. I truly enjoy the time we spend together as friends and comrades. I have heeded your suggestion and tried to join you within your space. Try it you said. It will be enlightening you said. 

Well indeed it was. 

The journey was uneventful but I must admit, every time I tried to maneuver myself to fit within your space, a small little piece of me fell to the side. I wiggled and I spun, turning this way and that. Keep trying you said. It’ll be worth it you said. 

I squeezed until I could do no more. Until my sides were scraped and bruised and I feared I will no longer resemble myself. And then I tried no more. 

I thank you for your hospitality and efforts. We shall remain forever friends in our own respective ways, but what works best for you just may not be what works best for me.
