The Oddest Thing She's Ever Said

Twenty-two years old, and I detest musicals, yet love opulent operas like this version of “Anna Bolena” that was performed at the Met this past fall. One of the things I miss most about living in Italy was the fact that operas and ballets were always viable options; CULTURE is something that is decidedly lacking here, and as much as I may be a football-and-beer girl, my SOUL needs something breathtaking and graceful with a wrought-iron skeleton like the taxing grand operas and ballets sometimes. They are just breath-taking and awe-inspiring.

“And then you did what he asked you to do; you opened your heart up,
Right there on a napkin on the carpet, and part of it was frostbit,
But you’ve always been a smart kid;
Could still distinguish, the blood black as pitch;
Valves had gone stiff, veins and scar tissue.
Four chambers, just a standard issue,
But none had room; forgiveness is huge.
And you had two full of ice water,
One full of salt, one packed with coal,
Eager and ready and willing to find fault.”

XOXO
