Lawrence Hall, HSG

Moving the Metaphor

“Moving the needle” isn’t moving anymore

As a metaphor it is out of the groove

Although politics are spinning at 78

The needle is quite worn down, and so am I

Lawrence Hall, HSG: United States; Y'r 'umble scrivener knows how to milk cows (altho' he long ago swore to own no livestock larger than dachshunds), build fences, clear brush, and cut firewood. After 18 months in Viet-Nam and Cambodia he worked his way through university as an ambulance driver, nurses' aide, and then LVN. BA in History, University of San Diego, 1976; MEd, Stephen F. Austin State University, 1984; MA in English, Stephen F. Austin State University, 2002. He also taught school, but that makes him a class (no pun) enemy just now. He has been rejected by some of the finest publishing houses in America.
