What is the tone in the last two stanzas of Introduction to Poetry?

But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with a rope
and torture a confession out of it

They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.

The tone changes from wishful to... Bitter? Disillusioned? Frustrated? I need a word
