I like this poem because of how hard it is to interpret. It's like one of those stories where you make a choice and flip to a new page. You get to create your own story.
This is how I interpret this poem:
"r-p-o-p-h-e-s-s-a-g-r" who as we look up now "PPEGORHRASS" gathering into a/the ".gRrEaPsPhos" leaps arriving to rearrangingly become "grasshopper" 
Each thing in quotations is another form of the word grasshopper. The grasshopper goes through a journey, and at the end, it becomes its true form: "grasshopper."
