The Hysteria Is Contagious...

Spam in poetry is

- Self
- Promotion
- Achieving
- Meaninglessness:

– if you didn’t read it
would its existence
cease?

The attention seeking
banner may display
a catchy line with
hieroglyphs and fiddly
bits designed to hit
you in the eye

but keep in mind
a cautionary tale
of glossy hype – look
behind emboldened
type to find a depthless
pit of utter shit

an abject sense
of meaningless and
disengaged delirium.
Don’t swim in it.
The hysteria is
contagious...
