I have to be honest, I don't think his word problems are a product of mental madness.

I think he's just a really bad writer.

He's trying to use poetic punctuation tricks with words which evoke emotion. The only problem is, that kind of wordplay really degrades the 'comminication' ability of the written statement.

He's just trying to be e.e.cummings, and missing very badly.
