I think that eisey is right about the last line being a quote and the poor poor james ending line is a Tillman's response to the statement. The desire being talked about is most likely a sexual one, and tillman is stating that if that is life's purpose for humans he'd rather be a "beast of burdern." Sexual desire is invoked in the second stanza as well. The reference to dreams of teeth missing is usually interpreted as the dreamer having many anxieties and in most case sexual anxieties or unfulfillment.

Actually, if you look up "teeth missing" in a dream dictionary, it usually refers to someone subconsciously worried about their appearance.
