you walk in.....

and sit down...

and then 'they' walk in .....

and before you know it,

 the avalanche
 of information
 comes spilling ALL OVER you......

ALL AROUND YOU....

in 'technicolor'.....
wet, dripping technicolor......

shocking you,

and you knew it !!

you knew it !!!

but try as you would to make them listen,
they just COULDN'T hear you.......

ringing and reverberating in their heads....

and you don't even have the DESIRE to GLOAT.....
because you FEEL sympathy for them.......

 at what  you feel......

AHHH......

such is life .....

survival of the fittest.....

and you, woman,
 are in EXTREME, SURVIVAL MODE !!!

perhaps, through some kind of 'miraculous osmosis',
 they can achieve this mode as well.....

here's hoping.... :}

may they be blessed with the light of redemption and clarity....
