How does Dobyns use alliteration in the poem, It’s like This?

Dobyns uses alliteration extensively in the poem. In the first line, for example, the words "morning" and "man" both begin with the letter m. The words "bed" and "because" both begin with the letter b. This is alliteration, the repetition of the same initial consonant in a string of words. The poet purposely creates a specific sound to which he is drawn. There is also the repetition of the word "cord" in the second and third lines, another purposeful act of writing, which adds emphasis to that word. Then, too, there is the repetition of the word "tighter" in the last line of the first stanza.
