A sense that the speaker feels out of place in 1950s America.

Explanation:

This question refers to the poem "A Supermarket in California" by Allen Ginsberg. In this poem, the author talks about modern American society as it was during the 1950s. He describes principles such as consumerism and materialism by focusing on the context of the supermarket. Through his style, structure and theme, Ginsberg shows that he feels out of place in this context. This feeling was common among the members of the "Beat Generation."
