Anagrammer

If you believe in the magic of language,

then

Elvis

really

Lives

and

Princess Diana

foretold

I end as car spin

.

If you believe the letters themselves

contain a power within them,

then you understand

what makes

outside tedious

,

how

desperation

becomes

a rope ends it

.

The circular logic that allows

senator

to become

treason

,

and

treason

to become

atoners

.

That

eleven plus two

is

twelve plus one

,

and an

admirer

is also

married

.

That if you could just rearrange things the right way

you'd find your true life,

the right path, the answer to your questions:

you'd understand how

the Titanic

turns into

that ice tin

,

and

debit card

becomes

bad credit

.

How

listen

is the same as

silent

,

and not one letter separates

stained

from

sainted

.
