Layover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAEFGHHHIHJKHHHLH HMNOHH| Making love in the sun in the morning sun | A |
| in a hotel room | B |
| above the alley | C |
| where poor men poke for bottles | D |
| making love in the sun | A |
| making love by a carpet redder than our blood | E |
| making love while the boys sell headlines | F |
| and Cadillacs | G |
| making love by a photograph of Paris | H |
| and an open pack of Chesterfields | H |
| making love while other men poor folks | H |
| work | I |
| That moment to this | H |
| may be years in the way they measure | J |
| but it's only one sentence back in my mind | K |
| there are so many days | H |
| when living stops and pulls up and sits | H |
| and waits like a train on the rails | H |
| I pass the hotel at | L |
| and at there are cats in the alleys | H |
| and bottles and bums | H |
| and I look up at the window and think | M |
| I no longer know where you are | N |
| and I walk on and wonder where | O |
| the living goes | H |
| when it stops | H |
