Fingerprint

When we were about twelve, the steps up to the door my parents' house got a new concreting. Needless to say, we scratched our names in there.

If you keep a look out, it is actually surprising how many of these things you can find. After finding this print of a hand on Regent Road, I started looking more carefully - and I found a whole bunch of other concreting vandalisms.

For some reason, our kind seems to feel a need to leave a few footsteps, or handprints, on earth that will last. And doesn't it make a simple concrete tile look a lot more alive?
