Junk Mail Poetry

Have you ever read the filler text in spam - that little paragraph word salad that comes before the ad for C i.41s and \/! a9ra?

I started reading some of my spam today (don’t ask me why) and discovered that sandwiched among the stock quotes and drug pitches are some surprisingly deep little snippets. The inevitable product of software designed to escape Bayesian filters - or a cry for help from the soulless spam distributors?

All in the body of a single email:

Silence
White out
Black out
Lights out
I was able to watch a flow of color reflecting my hand

writing, I am eager
to tap the dynamics of
the realm of suppose

I question
avantages of convenience
The longer I m here
the more time I spend

I’m going to keep my eye open from now on.

    forever the search

    in the enchanters eyes
    above the tree line near the Truckee
    question everyone, ask all

    There must be a meaning . . .

    and now you come proclaiming
    it’s midst the spam.f
