I find it beautiful in part because I have a high tolerance for ambiguity and I enjoy loose association. The wheat section was my favorite. For me, it evokes a feeling of discontent about knowing highly abstract concepts without knowing the basics. Like, she knows about fairytales, but she doesn't know how to make bread. But it's not really about bread; separating the wheat from the chaff seems to be more about determining what is important in life. And everyone else here probably has a different take on this section.
It is thoughtfully ambiguous. It's thought provoking in part because it is unclear. You, as the reader, are an active participant in giving it meaning. What makes it "well done" is that many readers succeed in giving it meaning they find insightful or entertaining.
It is fertile soil for your imagination.
