At first I thought the author was saying that he would ruin his eyes to read books he wanted to read outside of school because he loved reading that much. I was thinking maybe he was gifted with bad vision. But then he writes about dealing out right hooks to dirty dogs twice his size. Does he think he can fight bullies at school with his knowledge from books? In the second paragraph he now has glasses. Maybe he did beat up the bullies with his knowledge because he mentions evil just being a mere prank and breaking women like a pastry. Confused yet? In the last passage he talks about giving up on reading perhaps because his life didn’t turn out the way he expected it to and he blames the book. At face value, I think this poem is just a guy trying to make rhyme or reason of why he doesn’t like himself or his life or why his life didn’t turn out the way he expected it to; but I’m sure there is a hundred different little interpretations or hidden meanings that I’m missing.
