Dillemma - Dorothy Parker

Dilemma If I were mild, and I were sweet, And laid my heart before your feet, And took my dearest thoughts to you, And hailed your easy lies as true; Were I to murmur "Yes," and then "How true, my dear," and "Yes," again, And wear my eyes discreetly down, And tremble whitely at your frown, And keep my words unquestioning My love,...

Derek Walcott - The Fist

The Fist by Derek Walcott The fist clenched round my heart loosens a little, and I gasp brightness; but it tightens again. When have I ever not loved the pain of love? But this has moved past love to mania. This has the strong clench of the madman, this is gripping the ledge of unreason, before plunging howling into the abyss. Hold hard...

And the fallout Begins...Fort Lauderdale Police Overreact Broward Carnival 2007

Fort Lauderdale police overreacted when they called for emergency backup to control crowds at the Broward Caribbean Carnival, event organizers said Monday. Andy Ansola, president of the organization, said the response Sunday shows how unaccustomed Fort Lauderdale officers are to Caribbean cultural events and signals a need for sensitivity training. "You have to understand the mind-set of the people," Ansola said. "The people...
