The Assassination Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHIJ KLMNO

It begins again the nocturnal pulseA
It courses through the cables laid for itB
It mounts to the chandeliers and beats there hotlyC
We are too close Too late we would move backD
We are involved with the surgeE
-
Now it bursts Now it has been announcedF
Now it is being soaked up by newspapersG
Now it is running through the streetsH
The crowd has it The woman selling carnationsI
And the man in the straw hat stand with it in their shoesJ
-
Here is the red marquee it sheltered underK
Here is the ballroom hereL
The sadly various orchestra ledM
By a single gesture My arms openN
It enters Look we are dancingO
