An unemployed Machinist by John Giorno

The repetitiveness in this poem was something new to me,especially in the fashion that Giorno did it. In the first 2 lines he repeated "an unemployed machinist" which made me think that the author wanted the reader to notice that he is unemployed and is a machinist, perhaps thats all he is. The author was trying to get that point across perhaps. In the end of the poem he walks into a police station and says hes scared. Maybe the machinist ( or author ) experienced something bad in their lifetime and maybe forgot about what he went through but was still scared.
