his arms wide open

Antonia and I got into a discussion this wet New York Easter Monday afternoon about the use of metaphor in professional writing. One becomes accustomed to using a very personally relevant library of metaphors in writing that isn't acceptable in formal writing styles, such as legal writing. It is't that other writing styles don't have metaphors, but that the vocabulary of metaphor is different, in sufficiently widespread use in the technical jargon to have achieved a level of cross generational timelessness or classicism.

Any discourse that necessitates an initiation into its terms is by definition exclusive, but more importantly, biased towards an inability to integrate the new and current.

I want to see a SCOTUS opinion come down that ends with, I'M RICK JAMES, BITCH.
