Spreadsheet poetry is segments of prose which, similar to hypertext, can be read in various ways. In charmed by lust, if you read across a page, from a black space to a gray space to a white space, you will be exposed to one train of thought. If, however, you read only the black spaces on all the pages, you will experience the despair of love. Similarly, if you read the gray spaces you will feel the humor of love, and if you read the white spaces you will feel the joy of love. Like a spreadsheet, charmed by lust can be interpreted both vertically and horizontally. And of course, if these methods are too structured for your taste, you can read it in any order you wish.
