Ode to Spam

Who knew that the spammers' response to
heightened security would be poetry?

As the spam blockers figure out how to weed out messages with subject lines like "re:" and "shame of sex," they're resorting to more opaque subjects. How ironic that as they attempt to squeeze money out of individuals and become rich, they create group poetry.

Here's a found poem from the subject lines of the last few days of spam, authored by Bod Curtis, Rosabelle Locke, Herbert Richardson, Elmer Bruce, Kitty Garza, Ella Wall, and Reg Reyna.

"eke
democracy
disdainful
resentment obsessive
ventilator relic
envoy
tutor carousel"
