Grace Land - a prose poem


Grace Land

the miracle of everything is that nothing is a miracle.  it is meticulously fabricated with a piece of yarn, knitted delicately by fabled hands that personifies as a cosmic cloud in the middle ground of bullshit. it is vulgar. it is nasty. it is the epitome of garbage dumped, but unlike those fields of nonsense-plastics, these fabrications are wonderfully designed. like a boxed television that used to broadcast The Brady Bunch but now is a place holder as a rock for us to trip on. pixelated crystals housing colors that trained the human eye to pay attention, speakers broadcasting canned laughter from a trapped studio audience for enjoyment, but it now sits, cord ripped, unable to deliver its message. but it once did. we need not grieve a new home for human machines that have lost their value, because it does not matter that the value has diminished, it matters that it had value at all. a point in time. a point that time recalled can cause a memory reflex to trigger and gather up a storyline and a plot that gives gifts unto those that recalled. a baby born can grow into a man, fall from grace, leave behind a legacy but die a travesty, leaving behind a blessing and a curse. and who holds the puppet strings. who molds that yarn like clay. who is the mastermind of all this garbage, all this mismanagement. who cares. for the miracle of nothing is that everything is a miracle.
