Please don't do this.

What if the user isn't done reading a message before it starts
disappearing? Do you think they'll have the patience to wait for it to
come around again? What if they are done reading it long before the next
one starts coming in? Do you want them to sit there and wait until *you*
think it's time to continue?

If you want something to be read, don't make it a moving target.
