Is It All A Facade?

Conjecture on my part that the swagger is a forgery. Executed to imitate his idea of a cowboy-cum-truck driver? A walk that does not resonate as something he learned from a previous lifestyle.

Black garb, accentuated by a plain blue shirt, topped off with a well worn, black cowboy hat. Pant legs, half tucked into his cowboy boots. Perhaps trying too hard to recreate an idle from a different era. 

A second or third day’s growth surrounds an established goatee. It screams he wants to be different. Making the statement that he is striving for a new look. Possibly an attempt to transition away from his old life?

Is the underlying, stereotypical sight I think I am seeing, all wrong? There is the innate possibility that he is just a regular guy. One who parked his rig outside the restaurant so he could have a meal. Perhaps it’s on purpose that he portrays himself in a different light? A ruse so he can eat in peace? The ultimate goal to go about his business, incognito and uninterrupted, is once again fulfilled.

Is it all a facade?
​
Maybe…​
