Throat is dry;
weather's hot.
i buy a can
and pop the top
i lift the can
to trembling lips,
and the relief
with one cold sip

There are two stanzas in the poem.

Explanation:

A stanza, or a verse, is a group of lines - usually four or more - in a poem. Stanzas are similar to paragraphs in prose. The lines, on their turn, usually present a fixed rhyming scheme and meter.

Stanzas help the poet give balance to their poems, also allowing them to shift moods in each new stanza they introduce. They can also help when it comes to aesthetics, providing the poem with varied shapes according to the stanzas' number of lines and the lines' number of syllables.
