Already Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGCHCIAJI| A crackpot gringo in Guatemala told me | A |
| when the pilots of the suicide planes began | B |
| their dives down at the ships they were already dead | C |
| Coming from him a smug didactic metaphor | D |
| Remember Joplin's 'Mercedes Benz ' on Pearl | E |
| The reason we found the final chorus so moving | F |
| is that when she shouts everybody but no one joins in | G |
| and she goes on singing alone she's already dead | C |
| When JFK took Marilyn Monroe in his arms | H |
| each could tell that the other was already dead | C |
| How they wept It was love in a great tradition | I |
| two corpses holding each other crying if only | A |
| I could live for your sake o my beloved They went | J |
| from that place bravely with deaths to finish for everyone | I |
