I received the most beautiful poem today...

In my email box today came a beautiful poem, using the english language as color and my inbox as a canvas. I think it is truly on par with the work of e.e. cummings:

yield. an dandelion term

doorbell general election police
state an rancid off-peak openly scandalize as it passersby
soot a are tell
as four-letter word steak supposing, as droop ape and with
hunting tracer
lowbrow the is are and undue computerize two-bit
cluster, synthesize in
difference. tape measure to genealogist, hotly, was tabloid a an quality control
sew the was surface. airport

publicist the of throwaway of
dislocation and underground millennia misspelling. oblivion

tainted the ohm test case, please:

turnover lens:
thoughtful of
before reminisce. vineyard sudden duo pansy predominance
chide entitlement the prima donna. the czar displace misappropriation, to of
collegiate sermon and with tutoring an tattle a of yank a of underscore the
brute, ravage to roost



The rest of the email goes on to tout a small growth stock from China.

Why is it that our best poets need to resort to hawking penny stocks or pharmaceuticals in order to make ends meet? I think that this is truly a sad comment on our society today.
