Casino Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHIJKDL MNOBPQ

My mind is shuffling its deck tonightA
slipping one card over anotherB
letting them all fall together at the cornersC
the random hand of memoryD
is dealing from the bottom of the packE
-
First a bearded man emptyingF
the dragon kiln then a womanG
whistling her face turned awayH
as she opens the oven NextI
a big cat six toes on each pawJ
climbing up the yardpole LastK
a pair of workhorses circling a treeD
until they grind themselves to dustL
-
There is no one home in the worldM
tonight Everyone is out of rangeN
The cradles are empty the boughsO
broken down Trees go helter skelterB
and the wheel is creaking on its shaftP
Hit me I say to the dealer Hit me againQ
