Dolor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIGJKD| I have known the inexorable sadness of pencils | A |
| Neat in their boxes dolor of pad and paper weight | B |
| All the misery of manilla folders and mucilage | C |
| Desolation in immaculate public places | D |
| Lonely reception room lavatory switchboard | E |
| The unalterable pathos of basin and pitcher | F |
| Ritual of multigraph paper clip comma | G |
| Endless duplicaton of lives and objects | H |
| And I have seen dust from the walls of institutions | I |
| Finer than flour alive more dangerous than silica | G |
| Sift almost invisible through long afternoons of tedium | J |
| Dropping a fine film on nails and delicate eyebrows | K |
| Glazing the pale hair the duplicate grey standard faces | D |
