They are re-doing the sidewalks in my neighborhood this spring, and when I went out to get the mail I noticed that the blocks in front of the mailbox were freshly poured. And standing there by myself, no one else in sight, I had this compulsion to stick both my palms in the wet concrete, a la Grauman's Chinese Theatre...
I didn't do it, of course. I'm not a vandal. And I actually wasn't even going to admit wanting to do it, except that when Victor got home, he mentioned the sidewalk replacement. And he said "When I see wet concrete, I always have the urge to write my name in it."
Maybe everybody wants to leave a mark.
