Text of the artwork:
Ce soir, j’ai rendez-vous avec Gwenaëlle
Qu’est-ce qu’on fait en fin de semaine ?
Surtout attendre jusqu’au dernier moment
Et dire que demain ça recommence
Tu m’as manqué (e) … Katia !
Ici, un jour, il t’est arrivé, toi aussi, d’éprouver cette sensation
Jamais ils ne se séparaient sans avoir convenu / d’un autre endroit où se retrouver
Le reverrai-je demain ?
Text theme:
Daily Life, Routine
