in a thought for completion and
creation with the freedom of yellow stained
cloud stretched skies
daily. hourly.
build. make. design. create.
the time as such a commodity
the mature capitalist society
explores its boundaries
of debt as affordability
and cash as building. making. designing. creating.
all the things you can do with a hammer
on dirt
under the ever running
cleaning un caring freedom
of air
gold. in a hole.
in the sky.
slowing slowing slowing

educrat
1968, usually pejorative; first element from education, second from bureaucrat. Said to have been coined by Claude R. Kirk Jr. (b.1926), governor of Florida.
While political leaders and corporate CEOs, focusing as usual on the quarterly return, call for "workers for the new economy," their educational reforms are producing just that: students with a grab-bag of minor skills and competencies and minds that are sadly uneventful, incapable of genuine intellectual achievement and lacking any sense of continuity with the historical and cultural traditions of our society. Their world is small, bleak, and limited; their world will become ours. [David Solway, "The Turtle Hypodermic of Sickenpods," Quebec, 2000]
