Spell check needed

i'm reading the poem "I thank you god" by ee Cummings and i feel like im just learning how to read again. i have to read each sentence out loud and pronounce each word, this poem is full of confusing  things. i am sure you have noticed the lower case "i", well i noticed it too in this poem and how the only things capitalized were the words pertaining to God. Also the odd words like "leaping greenly" and "blue true dream" made me repeat those sentences a lot, did anyone notice how in the poem everything that is linked to God is capitalized yet Cummings didn't capitalize it in the title? As i read this poem i keep trying to figure out what the yes and no answer in the stanzas, the whole poem was oddly written it seemed choppy and messy with big words placed here and there. It is defiantly a poem worth reading about 70 times to full get what it is even saying.
