hehhheh... mostly everything. i really dig reading poetry, and i think it is great, and there are soooo many things you can do with words. i think perhaps the strongest influence is cummings and how he won't follow the idea of "correct" punctuation. i don't wanna be thought of as some goofy mimic, though, and accordingly the style i use is similar in some ways, but different (beyond the punctuation) in more ways. i like the pictures and the fractal images the unconventionality evokes, and i also just like the way the poem actually looks, all those commas and semicolons are neat. its all about sounds and style and visualization. i know its probably confusing to everyone else but me, but i see it as the only way that makes sense and says what i want it to.
