Today I slept
during a colloquium
Nothing unusual
just someone I don’t know
trying to best explain their work
Work, they did over many years,
to achieve… what exactly?
Then I thought,
One day, I’ll be explaining my own work,
to a bunch of strangers,
pouring my brain and heart out,
convincing myself that it all makes perfect sense…
There, for sure
at least one person
would fall asleep
completing the circle of PhD life…
