Analysis of Mismatch
The wrong instinct
The wrong feeling
Wanting far too much
To be profound
When it's all really nuts and bolts
I have a box of these, but nothing fits
I'm waiting for the day
When I come upon the right pieces
To complete my collection
Oh boy, then I will truly be ready to fix stuff

About this poem
Life is a lot like my box of screws. I throw things in and take things out, hoping someday I will have the part to fix something.
