Answer 2

The answer is: minimal punctuation.

After reviewing the excerpt from “The Railroad Earth” by Jack Kerouac you can validate that there are no verses repeated, all the words used in this passage existed, no one was invented by Kerouac, in this part of the story it was not included any dialogue and there is only one comma used in all the lines, this shows Kerouac minimal punctuation style.
