Attuned to my own rhythms, when I use a relentless gimmick like this, I like to give some relief after a while, and make a stanza or so with less relentlessness.
But that doesn't fit the relentless tone of the poem.
The second stanza opens with a line that would fit a change in rhythm. That it doesn't is the point.
