ENTER DARK STRANGER
by William Trowbridge


In Shane, when Jack Palance first appears,
a stray cur takes one look and slinks away
on tiptoes, able, we understand, to recognize
something truly dark. So it seems
when we appear, crunching through the woods.
A robin cocks her head, then hops off,
ready to fly like hell and leave us the worm.
A chipmunk, peering out from his hole
beneath a maple root, crash dives
when he hears our step. The alarm spreads in a skittering
of squirrels, finches, millipedes. Imagine
a snail picking up the hems of his shell
and hauling *** for cover. He's studied carnivores,
seen the menu, noticed the escargots.

But forget Palance, who would have murdered Alabama
just for fun. Think of Karloff's monster,
full of lonely love but too hideous
to bear; or Kong, bereft with Fay Wray
shrieking in his hand: the flies circle our heads
like angry biplanes, and the ants hoist pitchforks
to march on our ankles as we watch the burgher's daughter
bob downstream in a ring of daisies.

THANKS.

EG: Metric System, Centimeters, Decimeters and so on.

I plan on pursuing an MBA at UC Berkeley next year and am in the middle of writing my essays. I know that the teachers are excellent and the curriculum is relevant. But that can be said for just about every other top business school out there. Any thoughts?

A senator in Wisconsin is going to be proposing along with other senators from across the country that teachers should be able to carry handguns on them. He cites security and success with this in other countries. He also says that hey would be required to undergo EXTENSIVE TRAINING AND COUNSELING in order to do so. However, he claims that you can cut down school violence dramatically by doing so. What do you think??

Ok, I have to to an Analogy Essay. however, it can not be too cliche. For example Men are like dogs or any thing else would be too cliche. I need to compare two unlike things. I want the subject to be something about guys or getting a boyfriend. Keep in mind I dont want the whole essay just the thesis. Could some one give me some suggestion? I will figure the rest out later

For those who are unsure what I am talking about, another one would be dating is like buying a car, but I cant use this one bc it has already been taken.

Thanx

OK. I am really debating between some career decisions for college? I am 28 and still do not know what to do! I stayed home with my kids for 5 years and now starting school January. I have some ideas, but they all are hard to choose from. I am deciding between nurse, computer tech, accounting, or paralegal. Anyone have any information about these? Anyone have a career in any? What are the negatives and positives?
