Fragmented units and syntactic turbulence
 

Hejinian 209: "fragmented units produce microscopic instances of enjambment [...] one experiences a sense of understanding, along with delayed, different understanding, followed by resolution into complex sense [...] instant and quick changing experiences"
 
"syntactic turbulence"
 
specifically on Merry Hell, but the same could be said for the use of fragmented units from any poet
