Walking Across The Atlantic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AB CDEFE GHI

I wait for the holiday crowd to clear the beachA
before stepping onto the first waveB
-
Soon I am walking across the AtlanticC
thinking about SpainD
checking for whales waterspoutsE
I feel the water holding up my shifting weightF
Tonight I will sleep on its rocking surfaceE
-
But for now I try to imagine whatG
this must look like to the fish belowH
the bottoms of my feet appearing disappearingI
