"A" stands for anarchy
On my
way to work, I pass an elementary school. The school building faces a
low wall – and to make the place brighter, somebody, probably an
arts teacher, had the idea to paint the wall over with merry colours.
Recruited school kids for the task and came up with the following
design: The wall is divided into countless small squares and each of
them holds the letter "A". Small A, big A, print-style A, handwritten
A, even an A in the form of a human figure. Myriad of As of all shapes
and colours. But only As, nothing else. No exception. Every time I pass
the wall, I wonder how come that nobody broke the rule and painted B
instead. Or C or Z for that matter. Anything to mischievously break the
monotony. Every time, I search for a disrupter in the unified army of
As, but no luck so far. Maybe disrupters are perfectly camouflaged
– or, more likely, the school kids were a kind of unified army as
well. Every time, fingers itch for a brush and a bit of paint...
