    Peter, I saw you in Poets & Writers this morning!

    Felicitations! [fancy French way of saying 'Congrats!']

    Peter's famous. I'll sell you a map to his house for $15.00.

    Rebecca, what kind of map is it:

    -Hand-drawn with broken crayon?
    -Blue-print snagged from a trash heap?
    -Imaginary?

    Yes! And also glitter and lots and lots of glue and some stickers. Scented stickers.

    Wow, that was quick! The scented stickers pushed me over the edge.

    How about we trade--an exquisite corpse penned by me and my buddy Lilius for your hand-made Peter Pereira House Map.

    Deal?
