Thank you ntropyincarnate. I don't know about brilliant, but it was fun.

My gmail account had 500 spam messages when I checked today, only(4) now that I check it again, and just before I began weeding through, just in case that one 'real' email was sifted by accident, I thought "there must be something I can do with all this" and so I looked for "found poems". Only a few lines here and there worked in sequence, so I just wrote down the subject lines that I found inoffensive but interesting and things began to come together, like gum on one's sneakers. But, more importantly, this exercise took away the tedium of deleting my spam. Voila !

I would say an amusing and inoffensive piece.

(giggle)...Thank you Delta40.

I know it's not high art. Perhaps an insight to the age we live in, with a Dali-esque or Warhol twist of the pen (or perhaps crayon) to paper.

Today's spam, tomorrow's poetry. Not so much 'found' as 'recycled'.... I enjoyed reading it. And I wonder where you dug out that last line!

I like it a lot cousin. I love the
found poem, found meaning,
frivolity. It is undercut with
the desperate, the pleas from
the ether (read me, I matter.)
Cool...peace...

Thank you Hillwalker. Recycled indeed. The last line prolly iUniverse or ilk.

Thank you hack. I humbly bask in your poetic shadow.
