Seriously, there are conventions in all writing so that the reader has some solid ground, and any changes to these conventions should be deliberate, not just "i writeout capital letters because cummings did and he's like totally the bestest" or (worst of all) "that was how it came out of my heart and that's the pure art don't disturb it or you'll ruin its soul".
It could be worse
