A lot of poems which don't rhyme, or follow a consistent scheme, are written in various metres, which you can learn about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre_(poetry) This is free verse, which means it follows no structure or metrical pattern. I wrote it and established the rhythm entirely by ear.
"We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges." - Gene Wolfe
