Male Rituals

Baffling behavior by the males in the family....

 

I'm surprised

there are no

callouses

or bony protuberances

Where you and your father

repeatedly bump heads together.

Maybe you'll evolve some

in time

to raise

sons of your own.

Bess,

The brevity works this one well. As a son AND the father of a son it speaks volumes of the intrinsic but odd dichotomy of love and friction in the father-son relationship.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. THIS IS excellent! Wish I wrote this myself. I don't understand why some think that having the anatomy makes them one. Beautiful job. THIS IS FIRE!

Thanking you,
