Report From The Black Box Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BBCADEEFAGHIJGAKLMNO PQRBSBATUEBVRWXVY| For Flaco | A |
| - | |
| A cooler | B |
| head of lettuce prevailed but when the actor | B |
| asked his question and paused | C |
| for us to watch him pause and think | A |
| inside the pause I almost answered | D |
| as if we were in a bar just the two of us | E |
| and a balcony and spotlight The two of us | E |
| and programs and makeup and a sofa | F |
| from the director s living room and the black | A |
| womb agora s ance of theater inviting us to feel | G |
| together alone I recall I don t recall | H |
| the question but its scope on his face | I |
| was immense as if he were the Milky Way | J |
| asking am I pretty am I here for sure for real | G |
| for long and my breath was the quiet yessing | A |
| of tall grass against the shoulders of a cat | K |
| stalking the night I actually opened my mouth | L |
| before I actually thought you will be stoned | M |
| and not in the good way not with stones | N |
| of tongues stones of fingers against my forehead | O |
| but the play was messy and tangible and full | P |
| of the etceteras I am full of and why | Q |
| wouldn t I want to talk with that is a question | R |
| the poem is asking you to answer wherever | B |
| you are without me is the problem | S |
| theater solves since we sit together | B |
| in the dark with the dark because the dark | A |
| deserves a face a soliloquy a lover a bow | T |
| at the end When I always wonder if the players | U |
| regret that the lights come up and they see us | E |
| as we are seeing them as they were | B |
| what a weird mirror that is showing one side | V |
| sudden appreciation and the resumption | R |
| of loose ends the other the vast | W |
| and devotional possibilities of being kidnapped | X |
| by a dream and which side is which side | V |
| are you on | Y |
