See(k)ing,

Dam(n(it)!

If (only) I could walk the arid plain.

Well, that is

Who cares for what you think!(?)

You steal (from me) and give (me) nothing (in return).

Rambling(?)—
⠀⠀⠀ too long.^{(of hexameters)}

To be physically trapped? And no-one can help!

Hexameters always just bumble along until they finally finish. Long-winded things and a curse in English poetry since it is over the useful mouthful of words for a line. Not as natural as the iambic pentameter line or other appropriate variations. Often creates a heated discussion.
