The Making of A Man
Bubbles in your stomach
and a lack of whimsy in your bones
makes for a weak-willed man.
The kind that will not make the sacrifices
but stays ready to make promises.
The fear or lack therof
doesn’t define a constellation.
A consolation prize
to let everyone know
that you had what it takes
not to win.
