Final answer:
Bob Kaufman uses vivid imagery and metaphorical language to show alienation and isolation in modern society.
Step-by-step explanation:
Bob Kaufman uses the following two lines to show alienation and isolation in modern society:
- "Diggers, corkscrewing cleanly in, exhilerausted, into the mind mine, impaled on edgeless shafts of subtle reminiscence, green- walking across the belts and ties."
- "Slanted dark-walked time, wet with ages of dryness, Raga of insignificance."
These lines use vivid imagery and metaphorical language to convey a sense of detachment, disorientation, and insignificance in the modern world.
