Dichotomy

I am interested in your interpretation of the term dichotomy. I do not want dictionary definitions, but rather a pictorial definition. I am offering some insight to what I want. The site I am using for reference is:
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/dichotomy
You may use either definition 1 or 4.

The rules are simple and my usual ones:

1. Spell check is a must. If they are obviously misspellings and not typos, I will not even consider your entry.

2. Grammar is a big chunk of my decision. If you cannot use it correctly, again, your entry will not be considered. Get a beta.

3. Be as concise as possible. It should not take fifteen stanzas to tell your story.

4. Any form is acceptable, including prose. I would ask that you put the form in your author notes; I am not as familiar with all the rigidly formal forms of poetry. If I misconstrue your sonnet for bad rhyming scheme, that will not help you. This is not a requirement, but unless your form is obvious, you will not be considered.

5. Please, sign your poem, as I do not do anonymous. If there is a problem with the poem, I like to check out the author. It helps me to understand any spelling or grammar issues. I judge fairly, so this is not a concern.

6. Please, please read the rules. I am not asking you to write stupid things to show you read them. I will know, however, if you did not.


That should be it. The points may change, depending on the entries. As always, acceptable entries will receive points and possibly HMs.

UPDATE! This contest may close early, as it is not doing much. I am not satisfied with the entries I have, so there is the possibility of just canceling the whole thing. So, if you think you can define the word better than what is here, go for it.
