A Good Puzzle   A good puzzle is a battle of wits that is winnable, a respite from doubt and muddled purpose. A good puzzle pits   itself against you, it dares you to tease meaning out of chaos, determine what fits and what goes elsewhere. A good puzzle frees   you from the dead weight of deciding how to live your real life, in favor of pleasing solutions, a few things figured out.     © Michael Fleming Brattleboro, Vermont February 2021
