   On July 3, 1994 I posted the following list of anagrams of   
   “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy” (Sarah McLachlan’s third   
   studio album) to the fumbling-towards-ecstasy mailing list.   
   I challenge you to put some or all of them in an order   
   that makes sense as a poem, maybe with   
   “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy” as the title (or one of the lines).   
   Maybe the comet-related ones could be related to the   
   incoming interstellar comet,
