Billy,
That is basically what I was going for. He has lived his whole life not caring about others. It was not supposed emotional, more an intellectual awareness of living such a way, gets these results. It's just a realization that he becomes aware of, when he no longer has time to do anything. He had his chances many times to change, but now he is at the end of the road, with no time left to change. And it's like "Hum, I just realized my life is worthless, and I made it that way, no wonder no one cares about me, and why should I even care for me. It is an interesting quandary: not one I'm sure I can solve. I just don't no have to work the idea of detachment into it, with out destroying the poem.
Regardless, thanks for the read and thoughts.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
