Velleity. Regret. Lost love. Opportunities
ignored or neglected or not seen. Family history.
Fatherhood. Husbandhood. Manhood. Insecurity.
Pomposity. Heights. Blindness. Fear itself.
Death, less and less. Betrayal. Betraying.
Not knowing the secret codes. Being the only one
who doesn’t know the secret codes.
Being the only one who does.
