All
opera needs a bloody heroine
to
face down malice and hypocrisy,
to
drink and love and fight before she dies ‒
une
amoureuse who
fills life to to the brim
with
all the joy and pain that make us free ‒
she
knows that faintheart seldom wins the prize.
So
if you want to gain a boy's devotion
with
something that will hook him nice and quick ‒
unsheathe
your sword in one swift fluid motion,
then
stab him through the shoulder ‒ that's the trick.
And
if you want to grab a girl's attention
with
something more than just a winning smile,
there
really is one thing I ought to mention ‒
go
burn down convents baby ‒ that's the style.
