Mood of the speaker:
There are many three dots in the poem. Readers should think of the author's idea together with the pensive speaker.
The author used lexical repetitions to emphasize a significant image; i'm, gonna, chase, them, to, you are repeated.
The author used the same words yes, i at the beginnings of some neighboring stanzas. The figure of speech is a kind of anaphora.
