On Listening to Verdi Highlights
Beauty can make us good
Or being so seductive make
Us forget that fine feelings
Mean fuck all if they make
Us forget that fine feelings
Are not love
Nor is exquisite appreciation
Nor tears streaming down cheeks
Nor our souls, it seems heaving,
If these things are unheeded.
Love is not just
A good night at the opera
The pleasure of
A good exhibition
At the Tate Modern.
