Singing in the Rain

Normally when it starts pouring in the middle of a sunny day, you find dryness and stay there until the storm passes. Today, for reasons I'm still not privy to, I decided to walk onward even though I wasn't in any particular hurry. Sometimes, when I managed to brush the water out of my eyes, I was able to make eye contact with somebody under one of the various awnings lining Court Street in Brooklyn. The looks I got seemed to either say, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" or "Aww..that's too bad. Better luck next time." I did make 2-3 eye contacts with people that seemed to be in my situation (neither hurrying or carrying an umbrella). Although, we did not exchange smiles, we exchanged meaningful head nods. As I entered my apartment with everything I was wearing and holding completely soaked, I thought to myself, "I have to do this more often."
