What is different about these two lines is that there is no period to separate them like in all the other lines of the poem. Having no end-stop allows the lines to flow together; however, the first word in “Worships worships worships” is still capitalized, which allows for the form of the poem to continue.
Without the period, the connection, or the lack of connection, between “praise” and “worship” is made. Since praise is just warm approval or admiration, she substitutes it for “worship” which is a stronger feeling or action of adoration. By repeating “worships,” Stein affirms that this is what she meant.
