Asomatous
~ Operand at the periphery ~
Like Don Giovanni's opera
It gives rise to an epiphany:
Bridging wide gaps within
A rich binaural symphony.
So let the players sing and
Take you by both tympani.
Such scores are highly rated
Among the annals of infamy.
Donna Elvira love him not —
For he goes beyond polygamy:
Over two-thousand bodices
Removed in crass indecency!
Even statues spring to life
Moved through sheer indignity.
Audiences are often duped
By the libretto's filigree;
Thinking it has something to do
With inborn nobility or pedigree.
The evanescent is nascent mid torment ...
