It is comparing the philosophical/poetic approach of finding meaning in life to Grishkin's approach of finding it through sex and how in the end they are both futile. Donne & Webster are poets and the title of this poem also alludes to the work of another poet.

I like how the poem is put together how he talks about death or hell but i didnt like the way he ended it with the jaguar that made no cense. But other then that it was an awsome poem.

A fever of sexual repression and self-loathing dressed up as cultural commentary. Guaranteed to appeal to adolescents, and catchy to boot.
