Learning

Blah,blah, blah, blah,
She is talking. I think.
We sit there, feigningattention.
Pretending to listen.
Is it math? Or maybe biology?
Doesanyone know? Or care?

A lecture on something,
That we'll need to knowfor life.
Or just enough knowledge,
To get us through the next couple ofyears.

They try to teach us
Like it's important. Necessary forsuccess.
Or is it simply going to keep us busy.
This is serious, theysay.
We'll see.
