art, sex, and italy
by Jared FladelandPasta,
like sex,
needs to boil for just the right amount of time.
Some people like it a little softer.
Some prefer more firm and hard.
And some people eat it straight outta the box
like a goddamn heathen.
I sit and listen to this Italian opera
and think:
If you need three hours of a panel on the leading experts of romanticism in the Italian opera,
subtitles,
and a four page program explaining the plot and the mythic symbolism,
maybe its time you rethink your art.
Now, if a bullet travels
from the barrel of a gun and hits me right in the gut,
destroying my insides,
well. I'll call that a masterpiece.
