School boards choose
education on a scale
from craft to treadwheel
With your diploma, you look
from time to time for a place
that fits exactly you
This goes on and on
because everything has to run
on fewer and fewer people
The computers calculate
with virtual attention
how it can be done
Artisans have become volunteers
in museums of entertainment
for everyone who wants something other
than the treadwheels
in which you must run faster and faster
to stay upright
between the grinding mouths
the pounding legs and
the lashing tails
