Odd Piece

This jigsaw puzzle that I have
scattered messily in the attic of my skull
has been troubling me since I first opened it.
I cannot concentrate with such clutter
and to unclutter I need concentration;
I'm trying to force my mismatching ends to meet.

After a break I've managed to regain composure
and starting at the edges,
I am slowly working my way towards the centre.
But now that I finally feel satisfied
that I have finished piecing all the parts together
there is a solitary part which doesn't match.

I'm not sure where this outlier belongs,
but I guess I'll keep this spare part
to be used when the time is right.
