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
