That Man Sitting With You


Men carry burdens in very private ways.  We ache and grieve and sorrowfully go about our days camouflaged in the stalwart manner of DNA programed over the eons from Eden.  We move for days on instinct allowing those ancient fittest genes to keep our hand on the plow and our shoulder to the task all the while meditating on the best response to the threats to our families.  That man sitting with you is carrying the overwhelming burden of safe and prosperous home and hearth while smiling, talking of your cute dress and eating watermelon.
