Quote #4
to differ a disease of same,
conform the pinnacle of am (59-60)
A couple things from earlier in the poem boomerang back at us here to sum up this theme. One, we've got the word "same" again like with the "sames of am" from line 2. It looks like it again is being used to talk about conformity and definitely not in a nice way. It's compared to a disease. (Gross. Where can we get vaccinated?) We also notice that the word "am" comes back. This time the "to be" verb-noun is called a pinnacle, which gets across the idea of the awesome power of individualism that's constantly threatened by the icky disease of conformity.
