Backward It Is For It.....
a: Chemotherapy ~
b: a Victorian novel in reverse
What: "In the Victorian novel, the killer poisons the victim little by little, so the victim gets sicker and sicker. The doctor is perplexed and goes away, and the patient dies, apparently of natural causes. In chemotherapy, the doctor poisons the victim little by little so the victim gets sicker and sicker. The killer (cancer) is perplexed and goes away, the patient lives, hopefully for his or her natural lifetime." There is a discussion of this in the link....

Round Up For Your Cells?
a: Chemotherapy ~
b: a weed spray
What: "Chemotherapy is like a weed spray. The goal is to kill all the weeds and stop them from coming back without killing the grass underneath it. Next week they will sample Ainsley's bone marrow again to see the weed/lawn levels. The fact that Ainsley's platelets and ANC have improved so much shows that the lawn is regrowing and the weeds are retreating."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
