If you believe in the magic of language,
then Elvis really Lives
and Princess Diana foretold I end as car spin.

from Anagrammer by Peter Pereira





Little Mayans, European blondes—
let us follow the route of the thunderbird that
flies before the storm,
Let us toss the ball,
Let us outwit history,
At last, at last, let our game begin,

Eleanor Lerman
