and all watched over
by machines of loving grace
two lines from Richard Brautigan
it is how you use your
hammer & nails
the you who
steadies
aims
decides
to build
what wants
building
Joe Hoppe
with his
Mopar
fascination
Craig engineering
for the space station
Wilson with his wood sailboats
Christy & Chanda with glass & silk
Deltina & John camera & code
cutters needles torches
drivers wrenches
planes augers
numbers
letters
love
blessing
a clutch of makers
yet to be born

© 2010 Richard Lance Williams February 27 for poets like me proud just to know the difference between a Phillips & a flathead: sweet Richard dreams of a paradise free of labor (at least the mind & soul numbing labor most humans must endure to earn three squares & a roof over the head) so that like the beasts of the forest we wake & eat & procreate & socialize & sleep without the rancor of want our current state entails: that is his promise of machines of loving grace; i just hope my friends can continue to make beautiful things; i will do my best to stay out of their way
