Central Heating Dissatisfaction Quotes

So we've got, at first glance, a continuation of the central heating and technology metaphors in this poem—obviously, humans don't run on electromagnets, machines do. But what interests us, in terms of the theme of dissatisfaction, is the word "still." The use of this word makes us think that, for the speaker, it's beyond all hope that he's still alive, still working.

Our poor speaker is in love, but he's not even satisfied with his love. He feels that his love and his eyes (which, we're guessing, are looking at the object of his love) are all wrong. We don't know why this is, but either way, the speaker is dissatisfied with love, one thing that, for all the pain it can cause, many people find fulfilling.

Not only does our speaker feel dissatisfied, he has an overbearing sense of nothingness. It's not a very fun thing to think of yourself, or anything you may find important as, well, nothingness. We don't exactly know what he's talking about here in particular, which adds to the sense of generalized dissatisfaction. Everything could really be merely nothing, this line leaves it open to say.
