You're good at this interpretation malarky.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Hmmm...can't much out of this poem right now, but try reading it out phonetically. It worked for his poem "Yguduh", so it might work here. I'll try reading it after my shower.

Wow, as soon as I started reading this I had the thought that it was EE Cummings - that dude loves using weird punctuation.
Reminds me of his poem "dying is fine)but Death".
At the moment I don't have time to really help you on this one, though I would say definitly pay attention to the fact the poem could "wrap around" as indicated by his use of parentheses. Also get a good dictionary to check out the meaning of some of those words, I have no idea what a bunch of them mean even.
Good luck!

AP gives you william faulkner...

Imagine a single sentence that is 673 pages long, and you'll have one of his novels, no periods, no commas, just drunken rambling.

I am going to commit suicide next year.

This would probably make Ernest Hemingway look like a good writer.
