I was reminded somewhere that poems don’t need to have meaning. The beauty in this poem is that it was not meant to be understandable, so you can read it from down to up or sideways or skip lines and come back to them and they would make sense in their own way for some or not for others. You may even switch words around and switch sentences to find your own meaning in my mess of words that could mean something completely different to others. Maybe, eventually, someone could find meaning in its original form, but it would be fake, a lie to everyone else. At least to me, it would be the truest lie of all.
