Tone in Introduction to Poetry by Billy Collins?

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
