we are art teachers

went to the coursework sharing this afternoon.
finally leaving the school early for once.
feels strange.

all these art-related-moe-events are always a chance for me to see some of my friends who are also teaching art, everywhere in singapore.
provided they turned up.

while i'm busy taking pictures for the coursework,
i overheard this conversation:

'hey, how have you been?"
'oh...ok. it's the time of the year again.'
'what time of the year?'
'the time of the year where i feel that teaching sucks...'

then a 3rd voice joined in.
'well, you just have to forget about it and it will pass.'

such is life.
for us?
----------------------------------------------------

i was looking out for you today,
even though i know you may not turn up.
still i looked.

yes,
have given you the keys.
some are still with me.

i don't know what to feel.

and where are you going?
-------------------------------------------------

i put on my apron,
took my brush and paint and rag and water,
i went to touch-up the painting that was being vandalised.
the wood absorbed the paint.
after layers and layers of paint being applied,
it still can't conceal the purposeful damage.

i am really upset.
really really upset.
why are there such ignorant people?
such inconsiderate brats.
