This is a typical trait in poetry by E. E. Cummings. Most of his poetry has minimal or no punctuation. Usually it also ignores traditional rules of organization, and will sometimes have lines spread out longer than others or even some lines turned sideways. This lack of punctuation and organization allows the poetry to flow naturally, making it seem more like someone is speaking it outloud.
The lack of punctuation in the poem "somewhere i have never traveled gladly beyond" by E.E. Cummings is a deliberate stylistic choice by the poet. Cummings often played with grammar and punctuation to create a unique poetic voice and to challenge traditional poetic forms. The absence of punctuation allows the reader to interpret the poem in a more fluid and open-ended manner.

Some poems by E.E. Cummings that use vivid imagery include "somewhere I have never traveled, gladly beyond" and "in Just-" which both feature his distinctive use of punctuation and wordplay to create rich, evocative images. Cummings' poems often blend abstract and concrete images to convey complex emotions and experiences.
Line 15 ("I do not know what it is about you that closes / and opens") suggests a sense of mystery and wonder about the speaker's feelings towards the person they are addressing. It portrays a sense of curiosity and fascination with the unpredictable nature of love and emotions.
In the poem "Somewhere you have never traveled, gladly beyond" by E.E. Cummings, two paradoxes are the idea of being both "opened" and "closed," and the simultaneous feelings of vulnerability and strength conveyed through the imagery of both "petal" and "keeper."
