Loosely inspired by the next page which isn't really a doodle at all. It shows a lot of finger and thumb prints for people to draw faces on.
Actually more inspired by the fact that my last class has now ended. The kids have gone but I have yet to clear up the room.
The room still bears their traces
Surrounding the spaces where they sat:
Abandoned books, forgotten pens
Notes they will not see again, notes that
They made with half-attentive care,
Left scattered there on the final day
Jetsam cast away, driftwood on the beach.
There's no one left to teach.
I sigh and start to clear away.
Japanese borrowings and reborrowings
