Clint Ramsey has to leave his job working at Martin Bormann's gas station and flee after his wife is murdered by psycho cop Harry Sledge, who tries to pin the murder on Clint. Crossing America, Clint gets sexually harassed on all sides by various voluptuous nymphomaniacs, and it all ends in a literally explosive climax.在诗中, 由于诗人使客观物象的勾绘和主体情感的抒发取得了呼应与平衡,使众多的意象按情感发展的层次进行合成,故省略了连接性的环节,显得突兀和跳脱,看似毫无逻辑,实际上诗人是将心理逻辑作为诗的内在结构。情感与物象的杂揉,打破了一般画面的视觉具体性,通过闪烁多变的形象转换,衬托出诗人的复杂心态,显出一种舒缓有致的节奏感和多层次的立体交叉结构。
这首诗传达出了诗人深重的忧患和对人性的深刻理解; 在艺术上表现出所受英国现代诗人(如T·S·艾略特等) 的影响, 显示了诗人的卓越才能。
