I also am uncomfortable with "dialectic". The word seems to ruin a very likeable poem. I feel the word has been mistakenly used for another word such as "method". The teacher's rhythm comes from the pattern of delivery of a subject according to practised daily habits. She has a set of ideas which she delights in presenting. (I know some good public speakers who operate like this. They reassemble the pieces according to need.) It's a nice observation. The couplet is a little disappointing. There is a poem here that is worth developing.
