The poem describes drifting through a negative space without discernible features like a face or solid form. The speaker attempts to hear with an insubstantial ear and rests on an immaterial bed. Actions like eating, drinking, playing ball, and running occur without real substance in this negative realm where outcomes are opposite - losing when winning and being glad when angry. The negative space is an unsettling place where the speaker is stuck maintaining an imprecise and contradictory existence.
