[CORRECTED
VERSION]
DREAMER ZERO -
"Metaphoricalizing" NIGHTMARES
(BtVS#10)
rhetorical verse in Shakespearean
sonnet form
(1) AN EPIDEMIC
STARTS with patient one.
That first spreads
its contagion in a ring
expanding ever
outward 'till it's run
its deadly course,
whatever that might bring.
In
NIGHTMARES, somehow one boy's coma'd
dreams
in context of the Hellmouth's viral
field
expanded with no help from Big-Bad
schemes
until the fate of Sunnydale seemed
sealed.
A strange infraction in the
Buffyverse
that supernat'ral lawyers can't
defend.
A mix of metaphors as dreams
converse
in Babble-istic fashion that might
end . . .
. . . in one cacophony of
lucid doom.
Those unconfronted fears. How
they consume!
(2) BUT as for how
The Slayer-turned-vampire
destroyed the
"virus" nine-tenths of the way
--
empowering the Coma Boy to
sire
his own recovery . . . Well, now, OK .
. .
. . . BUT. What the Hellmouth was
that s'posed to be?
A theme that we can
beat our fears with help
of super-hero
others. That's the key. (SARCASM
WARNING)
You need a big dog's
bark, not your weak whelp.
Just leave
it to the experts who can fight.
And when
they've brought your problem close to death
--
lays whipped down on the floor 'bout
your knee height --
then you can rip its
face on its last breath.
Good Lord! Yes
surely, it's the Buffy show.
But
metaphoric'lly, NIGHTMARES ranked
low.
