Picking through your pocket linings, what is this - scrap of sassafras, eh Sisyphus?

Who is that prick in the front row who stands up for nearly the whole performance?

And why didn't anyone tell him to sit down?

@Mordeleitor interpretations i have heard is that its about a man and a woman who are together, but the man has come back from war and is not completely himself.

Masterpiece

She's talking about a lover she once lived with; she wrote it when they were still together... it's harder to explain further without picking through it line by line

[Mordeleitor]

That night, black planes flew over the sea..

And they were lowing and shifting like beached whales, shelled snails, as you strained and squinted to see the retreat of their hairless and blind cavalry.
