Forsake Feeling Heart

He rolled farther into the room.

   blowfish............. detest

He saw it near the door and rolled over to it.

   The saddest eyes............. are like handcuffs.

‘Cat’ then crawls as close to his mistresses as possible before expiring and killing one of said mistresses. He thought:

   There comes a point when the very discussion of pain becomes redundant.

The first time, I was in so much pain that it felt like someone had put me into hell from the knees down.

That was enough.
Take the matches, Paul.

       - Chauncey Livingston

Born in 1937 at the bottom of the socialite ladder, Chauncey Livingston grew up in Gateshead, England and started writing avant-garde spam poems as an escape from the harsh reality of war-torn England. He gained literary stature for his unconventional method of opening spam messages and searching for strings of seemingly nonsensical text. This remarkable talent earned Mr. Livingston an honorary degree in literature from the University of Northumbia at Newcastle in 1986. His influence on spam poetry still reverberates today and collections of his work are available at rare book dealers around the globe.
