Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIAJAKLMNOPQR STIUVWXK| At the desk where the boy sat he sees the Chicago River | A |
| It raises its hand | B |
| It asks if metaphor should burn | C |
| He says fire is the basis for all forms of the mouth | D |
| He asks why did you fill the boy with your going | E |
| I didn't know a boy had been added to me the river says | F |
| Would you have given him back if you knew | G |
| I think so the river says I have so many boys in me | H |
| I'm worn out stroking eyes looking up at the day | I |
| Have you written a poem for us he asks the river | A |
| and the river reads its poem | J |
| and the other students tell the river | A |
| it sounds like a poem the boy would have written | K |
| that they smell the boy's cigarettes | L |
| in the poem they feel his teeth | M |
| biting the page | N |
| And the river asks did this boy dream of horses | O |
| because I suddenly dream of horses I suddenly dream | P |
| They're in a circle and the river says I've never understood | Q |
| round things why would leaving come back | R |
| to itself | S |
| And a girl makes a kiss with her mouth and leans it | T |
| against the river and the kiss flows away | I |
| but the river wants it back the river makes sounds | U |
| to go after the kiss | V |
| And they all make sounds for the river to carry to the boy | W |
| And the river promises to never surrender the boy's shape | X |
| to the ocean | K |
