The poet reveals in his notes that he composed this poem while caught in a rainstorm, darting from temporary shelter to temporary shelter, and hoping that his computer would not get wet.  There is a definite disjointedness to this poem, sometimes indicated by blank spaces within lines and hyphenated words.
