Frank

 I married an octopus.  His name is Frank.  He’s an intelligent problem solver with an extraordinary sense of touch; so extraordinary he can taste what he touches, which also makes him a creative chef.  He’s strong and self assured, but not aggressive.  When he senses discomfort on the incoming tide he disguises himself in camouflage, or mimicry, as the source of the threat floats by totally unaware of his presence…usually at art fundraisers.  His secondary defense is a stage-left bolt behind a cloud of dark ink.  Really.  At stuffy social events I’ve seen Frank literally blend into bottom sand and drift to the bar as swaying green kelp.  But the best part is back home, wrapped in the tentacles of his love and suction tingling undulation adulation.
