Like Rousseau Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEF GHIEJKLMND| She stands beside me stands away | A |
| the vague indifference | B |
| of her dreams Dreaming to go on | C |
| and go on there like animals fleeing | D |
| the rise of the earth But standing | D |
| intangible my lust a worked anger | E |
| a sweating close covering for the crudely salty soul | F |
| - | |
| Then back off and where you go Box of words | G |
| and pictures Steel balloons tied to our mouths | H |
| The room fills up and the house Street tilts | I |
| City slides and buildings slide into the river | E |
| What is there left to destroy That is not close | J |
| or closer Leaning away in the angle of language | K |
| Pumping and pumping all our eyes criss cross | L |
| and flash It is the lovers pulling down empty structures | M |
| They wait and touch and watch their dreams | N |
| eat the morning | D |
