All those years you spent learning things you knew
you’d never use, you stand there now
at the front of the hall’s empty stadium
seating wondering why no one chose
even to audit your course on
The History of Knowledge
and for a moment you begin to feel lonely,
when with all you know
about everything in your head
you realize it’s not the stadium
but your head that’s empty,
and you wonder what, if anything,
you’ll be able learn from this.
