I would say that the lines which show us how desperate the poet is are the following:
"... helpless in my throes, Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite--"
As you can see here, the poet says he is helpless, meaning that he cannot find inspiration to write what he wants to write. Therefore he is desperate for some inspiration, which is why he is biting his truant pen in order to show how anxious he is to get his inspiration back.

Answer:
The poem "Harlem" uses the free verse form of poetry.
Explanation:
Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem" was written in the form of a free verse which means that there is no specific rhyme scheme or meter form. Free verse poems are nonetheless poetic. The absence of any consistent rhyme scheme did not defer in the poem's meaningful expression of the poem.
Hughes'<em> "Harlem"</em> is in the form of a question which the poet directed to the readers. The poem goes like this-
<em>What happens to a dream deferred?
</em>
<em> Does it dry up
</em>
<em> like a raisin in the sun?
</em>
<em> Or fester like a sore—
</em>
<em> And then run?
</em>
<em> Does it stink like rotten meat?
</em>
<em> Or crust and sugar over—
</em>
<em> like a syrupy sweet?
</em>
<em />
<em> Maybe it just sags
</em>
<em> like a heavy load.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em> Or does it explode?</em>
There are no specific rhyming scheme though some words do rhyme in some lines (sun/run, meat/sweet etc). But overall, there is no indication of any sense of rhyming or meter form.
When your text states that communication is unavoidable, it means that people will probably associate meaning to your actions, even when you don not intend to speak of something.
