"Living In Sin" discusses the effects of living a careless life of a slob. This poem was very descriptive and in many ways seemed like the opening to a short story. The cleanliness of the patrons or lack thereof seems to be the focus of the poem. It also focuses on the aggravation of the supposed woman partner who has to clean up after the mess of an active, reckless life. Living in a life of despair she feels herself being "jeered by the minor demons." She thinks that maybe this isn't how she wants to live her life.
I think this poem represents a life in which a person is stuck in a rut of excitement and disappointment, in other words, it represents the life of a manic depressive personality. The woman in the story feels disgusted and dissatisfied with her life throughout the day but the poem ends with a glimmer of hope in which she looks to the stars and is suddenly "back in love again."
