"Loading a Boar" by David Lee

It seems that the author was trying to convey a sense of authenticity and a connection to his roots.  He did so through his vocabulary especially with slang and curse words.  He also did so by limiting punctuation and ignoring most grammatical rules.  He also obviously shows his roots through the subject of the poem which is loading the boar into the truck but also that he should write about what he knows.  The poem is essentially a self-fulfilling prophecy.  The structure of the poem is all one very long sentence with a few quotations interspersed.  Interestingly the quotations do employ a small amount of punctuation which could be an attempt to symbolize that the person speaking (and also giving advice to the author) may be smarter than the author.  The poem uses very little symbolism and there is really only one possible interpretation of anything.  The style of this poem is suited to it's purpose and I think that's the lesson to be taken from it.  It blatantly ignores most conventions because it makes the poem a more authentic experience.  It also conveys that people should write about what they know and that not everything that is written must be angsty or have some deeper philosophical meaning.  It also shows how something like grammar or puncuation can be used to show disparity between two parties.
