What is the literary device for continued use of word and instead using commas?

The literary device you're describing is called polysyndeton.

Polysyndeton is the use of multiple conjunctions (like "and," "or," "but," etc.) in close succession, often without commas, to create a sense of emphasis, rhythm, or urgency.

For example:

* "He ran and jumped and laughed and skipped."

* "I want to eat, and sleep, and relax, and be happy."
