I adore this poem. The way that the form and content steadily break down and devolve into incoherence both mocks and exudes poetic structure. It's playful and powerful all at once. I taught this poem as an introduction to metafiction, and the students didn't want to stop discussing it.
Keep experimenting, man. It's definitely paying off.
