RE: BtVS 2.2 SOME ASSEMBLY
REQUIRED
PARTLY
LOVE
rhetorical verse in
Shakesperean sonet form
PART
1
(1) A DEAD, HOT JOCK from lower,
"loser" stock
is loved by his blood
kin one slice too much.
His mother,
zombified to lose son-jock.
His
glory she relives -- else, out of
touch.
His smarter "loser" brother
brought him back.
FRATERNAL LOVE and
science mixed to join
dead brother's broken
flesh with life. // NEXT TRACK:
ROMANTIC
LOVE'S fraternal . . . mixed with groin . .
.
One special person's blood can
make yours boil.
That special one
can make you lose your head
and break the
rules much higher than by
Hoyle
(that masterpiece on games
you may have read).
THIS STORY SAYS
that love makes you
insane.
But human love's not
easy to explain.

(2) JUST WHY
would Willow pine for Xander's
kiss.
("A strange, off-putting" guy, as Drac
will say.)
AND WHY does worldly Angel
somehow miss
the sight of Buffy in the
light of day?
With God-like duty to
defend all souls
the Slayer
shouldn't let her mind fixate
on rating
some folk higher in some polls
of "Who I
Should Save First". She cannot hate . .
.
. . . one human more -- and so
let that one die.
The Slayer should save
ev'ry life the same.
And having
friends and lovers means deny
your
sacred duty. OH, YOU THINK THAT'S
LAME?
WELL, being chosen
means a sacrifice.
Slay duty means
you don't roll love's strange
dice.

(3) THIS MAY
SEEM A LONG WAY from Frankenstein,
and
chopping up some girls to make a
bride
who'll love an ugly monster
-- think he's "fine."
BUT human love
is always mixed with PRIDE.
AND
JUST AS Buffy's pride would not allow
a
kiss from Xander 'cept when she was dead
--
Pre-ugly jock thought Cordy was
a cow.
BUT NOW he's happy to have
Cordy's head . . .
. . . to smile at
him, since he can't show his face.
(This silly
story point ignores his class
which even
end-zone dancing can't erase --
hot, snotty
Cordy was too rich a lass.)
AND IF
IT SEEMS my points have gone to hell,
the themes
inside this story were
pell-mell.

(4) ONE
EPISODE BEFORE Bad Spike and Dru
inject
ol' Sunnydale with their fresh blood . . .
SOME
EPISODES ARE "FILLER" (one or two).
To me
ol' "Some Assembly . . . " was a
dud.
SO WHY waste all this time to
sonnetize
a story line that didn't touch my
heart.
WELL, SOMETIMES that which fails to
tantalize
gives opportunity to take apart
. . .
. . . and piece by piece
assemble "something more."
NOT
Bride Of Frankenstein . . . BUT God's
strange
love
which says that those
we'd hate, instead,
adore.
THIS SONNET LEADS ME HERE:
We need to shove . . .
. . . away
from loving based upon our
pride.
I've said enough. This tale,
I set aside.
