A Lecture in Medical School
Phrases flying past my ears
never quite reaching their target.
Slide after slide,
this professor never pauses to refill
her lungs,
we gasp in unison
as the screen flashes
tiny scribbles above our heads
each filled with 8+ syllable words
that sound completely made up.
Classmates tuned in,
I bond with little blue birds circling my eyes
praying to catch as many
droplets of information as I can…
our firehose of content is never
turned off.

This sounds exhausting! Much respect to everyone who pushes through and succeeds in that field!
