    This is lovely and also edgy ….in that in its quiet words, but because of its title, it is bittersweet. As you point out, Sher, it is about a missed –a lost– opportunity…..and by way of one example, told by a bard of the quotidian, it universalizes the regret and chagrin that come with one’s recognizing lost opportunities.

      Thank you for sharing your response. I love your coining “it universalizes the regret and chagrin that come with one’s recognizing lost opportunities.” This feels so true. Thanks for listening.
