Captain Quark and the starship UnderpriseTV Miracles have their ups and downs
Chapter 61
Of course, TV will never be simple-minded in its treatment of Miracles,
2Because one of the greatest of all comedy shows will point out that Miracles have their ups and downs,
3aBecause some of them are good,
4And some of them are not so good,
5Which is what people will find out on a show called ‘I Love the Miracle Zone,’
6Which will feature a different Miracle every week,
7And will fearlessly show how the wrong kind of Miracle might really foul everything up,
8Like if you start seeing a truly perfect paradise on your usual train ride to work,
9bThen you can probably expect that you’ll die if you’re stupid enough to get off there.
10cIf you really hate dmodern technology,
11Then you can probably expect that every modern appliance in your house will turn on you someday and kill you.
12eAnd if you’re the only survivor of a nuclear war,
13fThen you can probably expect your gCoke bottle eyeglasses to get crushed just when you were about to sit down for that good long read you’ve always promised yourself.
14hAnd so maybe it’s better to forget about Miracles,
15Not to mention that good long read,
16iAnd stay right there in the suburbs,
17With all those other perfectly average people,
18jWhere you belong.
