Learning in Lectures

What is he talking about?

Lecture dismissed;
we're herded out like cattle,
out the doors which we entered
into the snow and cold.
Lecture made no sense
to you, or me, or them -
to us.

What was he talking about?

Lecturer disembarks,
leaving the hall after us.
He walks past us
no acknowledgement
of us, his pupils, people.
He shuffles away to the next lecture
on Social Psychology.

What did we learn?

Over caffeine and cake
we talk, merely talk,
about the lecture.
We review today's jargon
which bears no use in daily life.
We leave half-eaten cakes
and half-empty mugs, unfulfilled.
