Answer 2

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Cummi-g's poem "but mr can you maybe listen there’s" is a very particular one in the field of literature. In this poem, Cummi-g does not follow any conventional rule of punctuation, nor any rule of syntax and distribution of words through the lines: Some words are not separated correctly, there are no capital letters nor apostrophes placed where they should be, and there are commas and periods placed where they should not be. In short, the poem does not have conventional punctuation, and one source of its chaos is, indeed, that non-conventional punctuation.  

Here's an excerpt of the poem so you can see it too:
