The Shampoo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACBC DEDFGF HIHJIJ

The still explosions on the rocksA
the lichens growB
by spreading gray concentric shocksA
They have arrangedC
to meet the rings around the moon althoughB
within our memories they have not changedC
-
And since the heavens will attendD
as long on usE
you've been dear friendD
precipitate and pragmaticalF
and look what happens For Time isG
nothing if not amenableF
-
The shooting stars in your black hairH
in bright formationI
are flocking whereH
so straight so soonJ
Come let me wash it in this big tin basinI
battered and shiny like the moonJ
