NEOLIBERAL
POETRY [11x17" broadside] |

A new
order has emerged, so quickly & so thoroughly that most of us have yet
to notice it has already taken over our lives. This new order runs on the
assumption of strong property rights, free markets & free trade as inherent
moral goods. Deregulation, privatization, & withdrawal of the state
from social services & cultural initiatives are its hallmarks. The individual
stands alone, “making it” or not -- thriving, surviving, or
falling dead to the side -- by virtue of the resources that she can marshal
& her sole ability to manage them; by the birth-rights of capital, connections,
education, last & often least, ability. |

1: WHEN THEY ASK WHY YOU HATE SCHOOL |
| |
The
Lo-Ed School unnerved him. Scrutinizing it from behind the wheel of his
hovercar, he considered the egg-shaped building, white against the blurry
surface of the planet as if dropped there from above. Like a bomb,
he thought, that hadn’t gone off. Or a slow bomb. This is what
it looks like going off. Maneuvering his car into the lot at the
entrance, he discovered that his fingertips had whitened & lost feeling,
a familiar sign of tension. Evidently it was some factor in his personal
make-up that left him uneasy; maybe, because of his knowledge of machines,
he could not accept the illusion of the school -- simply couldn’t
play along.

2: ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN |
| |
You’d
have to go all the way back to 1917, to the 2nd term of the Wilson administration,
to understand why Spence Piston, American citizen & resident of the
Glenn Close Apartments, was watching the President on television while he
shaved that morning. |
