Defamiliarization Mind

I never understood this condition that continued to invade my writing skills at first I would write then go back to put the punctuation in this made my poems end abruptly when I needed my readers to continue my story hadn't ended until that punctuation stalled my readers from finishing my poem I sat up searching for why I composed this way soon my style of writing was compared to e.e cummings he too often left out the punctuation I read further there was Ulysses James Joyce Cormac Mc Carthy I began to realize I was different but I wasn't alone great scholars and Nobel prize winners also had my condition why there was a word for this style of writing a word for why I was comfortable leaving out the punctuation defamiliarisation in fact I believe this allows my readers to know right away this is my original work I wouldn't change a thing in further research I found a few more poets just like me in Russia why I Certainly would call this a poem perhaps a commentary of sorts a very creative way to use this new word I'm quite fond of defamiliarisation absolutely driven creative culture of an awesome read
