Life as Postmodernism

Life, when taken for granted, breaks
Into millions of pieces. The pieces are picked up,
One by one, by the passers-by,
To be nurtured, taken care of, so it may grow once again.
Life, when taken for granted, breaks
And when it is shattered, there is no way
Of putting it back together as it was.
Instead it is reconstructed, the cracks a reminder
of the adversity it had to suffer to become
The broken masterpiece it turns into.
There is the concept of postmodernism:
You take something apart. You put it back together.
It is never the same afterwards -
Then, all of life is a postmodernist chain:
Take a pristine life and drop it on the floor.
Listen to it break into many different pieces.
Let the pieces affect the lives surrounding it, and,
When it is ready,
Let it try and remake itself into a masterpiece,
Cracks, pieces, and all.
It could be the same person, but the thinking
is forever changed by the experience of breaking.
Life, when taken for granted, breaks
and regroups into its old shape with a new face.
