In a nutshell, it's about human evolution, and how it has stagnated. In a natural world, it is "survival of the fittest" where those with good genes ("jeans") survive. Because the "hospital of denial," those that were not fit to live are kept alive, and their "bad" genes are passed on. This man ("I") is in his wilderness sanctity; an old hermit who seems crazy. He revels over societies frivolous activities, and their ignorance to nature.
Do realize I am no eugenicist. Merely a boy who has realized what modern medical advancements mean to our evolution as a species.
Ah, so Social Darwinism and insanity were missing in my equation, I think I can see it now.
As an aside, I did at no point associate you (as the author) with the I of the poem, and I have no interest in judging other people's mindsets.
Thanks for enlightening me, interesting poem you've written
