What's the demarcation between abstract & figurative?


Figuratively speaking, of course.  You might as well ask, "What's the difference between roasted carrots & carrot pate'?" Or an epic & a haiku?   I recall, I've never had carrot pate'.  Epics and haiku -- plenty of.  Though I never tire of haiku -- in all forms.

  1. What was not fully realized when the locker was discovered was that the stakeout in this particular case seemed to continue and wind its way through many concurrent cases. Therefore hard to keep track of the discovery's merits or lack thereof.

    Are we all susceptible to the urge to have a tidy accounting, whether or not it reflects the true state of the inquiry?

    The notes seemed to skip to a new subject:

    Surveillance 4

    april 2 watch, case 23, 10pm
    inclement weather patterns

    phone rings twice
    was not answered
    faint voice on answering machine
    something about spinach
    lights went on briefly
    in back rooms
    small animal--cat? let in at 2 am
    no other activity
    false alarm?
