Reached for: Man (Tight-Man)
“Before I sit down I already know who in this room outranks me.”
The reach is for the compact, contained, high-standing man — the body held tight as a statement of position, everything about it announcing placement. It comes from a house where achievement was the currency of affection, so the question of standing replaced the question of being liked. It asks for a room where the seating order is not the first thing consulted.
It echoes Haman, whose whole nervous system hung on precedence, honours and who bowed first. The task is to receive one honour and notice it changes nothing about worth.
