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,

drafty magnetics, sublows
Sandbag, costumer, swiftly!
crafty woundless gambits {woundless is in Oxford Concise d}
swiftly sandbag customer [swiftly sandbag crust 'ome]

croft slid subway magnets
iambs glow defunct satyrs [defunct satyrs glow iambs]
magnetic locus, bawdy firsts
crafty nudes stow gimbals

sturdy magnetic bass flow
crafty gimbals sound west
subcomet tails fang wyrds
swift rats scumbled agony

mesocrust lifts [flits] bandy wag
stigmas cleft by unwords [crafty gambits wound less]
crafty nuts dowse gimbals
fungoids mat crystal's web [crystal's fungoid bats mew]... :-)

bus: crystal woman fidgets
submagnets drift cosy laws
stomal cardings buy wefts

sun ward cleft by moist gas
soma wasted by curt flings
comet is drawn by fat slugs
soft magic tunes slab wyrd
cuts gym, frond wets labias [cuts gym, wrests fond labia]

focus wild magnets by arts [focus wild arts by magnets]
a flat subcomet sings wyrd
cleft bay, moist sung wards
sun facet draws misty globs

magic flowers stand busty
sling bawdy crust of mates
baud stream, flowing cysts
many bard tics, fetus glows

sundog bays flaw metric t (or t metric, or CRT time)
fast club masters windy G_o
focal wings stream B_y stud

bundt flaws gyrose mastic or mastic flaws gyrose bundt
(MasTic Flaws GyRosE BundT or BundT Flaws GyRosE BundT)
magestic flow, sundry bast (MagEstIC FlOw SunDry Bast)
