Barrel-house kings, with feet unstable,
Sagged and reeled and pounded on the table,

Beat an empty barrel with the handle of a broom,
Hard as they were able,”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
“In the atom’s fizz and pop we heard possibility
uncorked. Taffeta wraps whispered on davenports.
A new planet bloomed above us; in its light
the stumps of cut pine gleamed like dinner plates.
The world was beginning all over again, fresh and hot;
we could have anything we wanted.”
—Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
“What a long strange trip it’s been.”
