I disagree. The lack of commas in the first stansa increase the pace up until the full stop. Then, in the second stansa, the introduction of a comma, two full stops and a colon slows it right back down. In the third stansa, we are back to a quick pace, until the final line, which slows, then grinds to a halt. The only rhyme would be asonnance (half-rhyme) between "bell" and "hell". Why would the poet choose to use only one, half-rhyme couplet? Would it be to show that, although there is a full stop, the two sentences are still connected? The only "no flow" thing here would be the lack of enjamberment, which would be diliberate. As for the content of the poem itself, I have no clue what half the sentenses mean.
