What to do with a poem I don't understand?

I looked at the assignment given and started by re-reading the poem to try and grasp some understanding. However, as I thumbed through the poem my attention was visually drawn to the large text that occurs in random places. I decided I would highlight those and like the poem make the jumping of lines read a new poem made up of those words similar to the authors initial attempt. I cut through the multiple layers to frame these words. It radically changed the poem.
