You Whom I Hoped To Reach By Writing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHCIJ KCLMNOP QRC

You whom I hoped to reach by writingA
you beyond the multicolored tangleB
of telephone wiresC
you with your white paper soulD
trampled in transitE
you with kaleidoscope stampsF
black cancellationsG
you who put your finger on my heart as I sleptH
you whom I jostle in elevatorsC
you whom I stare at in subwaysI
you shopping for love in department storesJ
-
I write to youK
someone else answersC
the man who hates his wifeL
wants to meet meM
the girl who mistakes me for motherN
My strange vocationO
is to be paid for my nightmaresP
-
I write to you my loveQ
someone elseR
always answersC
