A cuckold couldn’t hold –
…on to his wife
And couldn’t be bold
…so hated his life
II
He laid a trap
…to bait her lover
But got a slap
…which made him see clearer
III
He was like a lost puppet
…on a dangerous ground
And became a vacant socket
…who no mercy found
IV
Then he saw it
…the intense thrill of their act
And knew it
…his failing fact
V
Stand to take
…all fours down
Side in take
…upside down
Locked to take
…slap the town
Then shyly became the clown
Always hail-Marying
…with his short chop stick
VI
His gross green teeth
…and dirt filled feet
His old worn clothes
…and stinking armpits
Reduced him to a maggot
…in the centre of his mind
And so it happened
…that he took a run
…in self banishment

I got the first meaning, he was uncompetitive. But what was the second?

He saw how well skilled his rival was after catching them in the act and fled. šš Metaphorically, be attentive to self details in love and learn how to use what you have well.
