Yes, let's:

DONKEY: Thanks, I wrote it at the break area of the Chattahoochee Valley Community College... It was a rustic little coven for the more intellectual of the local yokels.

Since "the break area of the Chattahoochee Valley Community College" was a hangout for "the more intellectual local yokels," and since the Donkey "wrote it at the break area... for the more intellectual of the local yokels," he is implying that he was one of "the more intellectual local yokels."

That's an extremely disturbing thought to say the least.

I AM THE SHITSTAIN

The shit runs
down my legs
Deep and black
last night's dumpster fare
rancid tuna
....I am the reason
you pinch your nostrils
I am
the shitstain.

Indeed...
Considering he's calling his fellow citizens yokels, and due to vagueness, also labeling any college students using the break area made for them as yokels too.

Yokel
an uneducated and unsophisticated person from the countryside.
Similar: bumpkin, country bumpkin, country cousin, ... peasant, provincial oaf

I just had to come to this thread eventually, considering it's title and with it's author not being amused with the full blown revolt of this free verser against the Trump of this dump,,,
