What does it mean to be a grown man?

Is it enough to simply recognise that
while certain dispositions require a front row,
not every inclination is repulsive?

Or perhaps the awareness that only a few
passport photos remain to be taken?

I guess toning down the theatrics might work.
Having a way with words doesn’t hurt either—
certainly if I’m to embrace vulnerability.

Then why all I can think of are the weather idioms?
