it’s off my back
the sod styled himself a man
in the eyes of his wife!

the wimp became
a man in the eyes of his wife!

I think often men rely on others visions of themselves.
Which we do not have to believe… nor regret.
It’s hard work not to regret Jules. But one should try.
Oh dear, this does not sound good. As an experience. As a poem, I think you’ve told a whole story in three lines, full of overtones. Now that is something very good, I think.
Thanks Claudia.
