spam

sometimes, amid the dozens of spam messages i now get in my gmail account each day, all of them promising me a "b!gger C1ck" or pharmacy-direct viagra, i find a real gem. witness, dear readers, the paragraph that was at the bottom of a spam email i received this morning from a gentleman named stravros mazza:

Artifact or no I was just nine days away from my personal destiny. When I had first heard the thirty-day deadline on the poison I had not been too concerned. Thirty days is a lot of time. I thought.

is it spam or is it anne sexton? it's anybody's guess.
