Part Of Speech Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFGHIJI K L

and when the future is uttered swarms of miceA
rush out of the Russian language and gnaw a pieceB
of ripened memory which is twiceA
as hole ridden as real cheeseC
After all these years it hardly matters whoD
or what stands in the corner hidden by heavy drapesE
and your mind resounds not with a seraphic dohF
only their rustle Life that no one daresG
to appraise like that gift horse's mouthH
bares its teeth in a grin at eachI
encounter What gets left of a man amountsJ
to a part To his spoken part To a part of speechI
