The responsibility referred to here is how to stand up or bear the loss through selfunderstanding and trying to console oneself on his own as the boy who lost his ball was trying to do.

Answer 2

The poet John Berryman “The Ball poem” describes the grief of a boy over the loss of his ball. This loss makes him realise his first responsibility. ... That is why the poet does not want to interfere and wants the boy to be strong and handle the situation himself and does not want to offer him money to buy another ball.
