I used to post like that on another forum. I did it to make the flow of thoughts to page faster and because I hesitated due to lack of practice hitting the shift button.
People tried to troll me because of it, but my gung fu was (and is) too strong, and I beat them back time after time. We don't know how strong e.e.'s gung fu was. He may have had a most fatal style. And now we will never know.

The shift thing can be a royal pain, especially if you hit the Caps Lock key and forget it until you see the result. Oy.
Old e.e. would get trolled without mercy for his lack of punctuation if he were still around and using the internet,

Read this ee poem aloud. It’s a riff with every other line sarcastic comment on that era’s inculcated patriotism ala what today is called Deep State. ee was not a patriot.
The last line is a stage direction, which reinforces the idea that the preceding lines were call & response, dialog with a Greek chorus response.
bagster’s thought on the flow of the unpunctuated form is, IMO, accurate. The response comes in immediately on the heels of the statement, implying two speakers with no breath/pause required between their utterances..
