s in passageways. Six o’clock. The burnt-out ends of smoky days.

Blank Verse

This excerpt is written mostly in blank verse. Even though some lines rhyme with each other, there is no consistent rhyme pattern or scheme.
Almost all of the lines contain the same iambic (alternating unstressed/stressed syllables) rhythm, with the exception of line 3.
