Here, the lines are practically compressed together, representing a person whose thoughts are equally cluttered. This shows someone overanxious to express himself, fearful that he cannot get enough into the space allowed, just as he might try to talk fast.
When the letters of one line actually encroach into the next, it shows that the writer has practically forgotten what he just wrote, or he wouldn’t be jumbling into it.
