Spiral

If we kept going, would any of the sides in this figure be parallel?




UPDATE: Asking a bad question is my fault. Of course, any polygon that has an even number of sides has n/2 pairs of parallel sides. What I was originally after, but didn't ask properly, was whether there will be a side of one polygon that is parallel to a side in another ... other than the pair in the triangle and square.
