An interesting poem. I think you know what you are doing: poem about insanity utterly off its tits style. In which case it would be pointless to highlight the gramma and spelling and punctuation. The question is, is it enough without the stylistics? Is the style enough on its own? Can style be separated from substance?
I obviously won't do a line by line, not least because no one wants to be the fellow who took seriously an abstract which later turned out to be painted by a chimp.
I will say this though, it does raise questions about poetry and form and tradition and all that, my only problem is that this is all it does do. The actual content is limp and the style merely a flourish, which is distracting but not in any great way.
