The Map Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GHIJ KLMN OPQGRS| Applying to Heavy Equipment School | A |
| I marched farther into the Great Plains | B |
| And refused to come out | C |
| I threw up a few scaffolds of disinterest | D |
| Around me in the fields the hogs grunted | E |
| And lay on their sides | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| You came with a little water and went away | G |
| The glass is still on the table | H |
| And the paper | I |
| And the burned scaffolds | J |
| - | |
| You were bent over the sink washing your stockings | K |
| I came up behind you like the night sky behind the town | L |
| You stood frowning at your knuckles | M |
| And did not speak | N |
| - | |
| At night I lie still like Bolivia | O |
| My furnaces turn blue | P |
| My forests go dark | Q |
| You are a low range of hills a Paraguay | G |
| Now the clouds cover us both | R |
| It is raining and the movie houses are open | S |
