RE: BtVS 2.3 SCHOOL
HARD
AND THEN CAME TWO (Spike
& Dru Slay Me)
rhetorical
verse in Shakesperean sonnet
form
SONNET SEQUENCE (1 of
4)
THE MOMENT angry
wrinklies smooth to care . .
.
THE MOMENT when his heart
steps past his grin . . .
THE MOMENT
love arrives . . . when he's aware . .
.
HER PRESENCE fills his soul
. . . as she walks in . . .
. . . OR
WOULD . . . if soul he had . . .
BUT he has none.
WELL:
That's the vampire theory we've been
taught.
LIKE: Vampires cannot go
into the sun.
AND: It's with wooden
stakes they must be fought.
BUT
WHEN this golden vampire's eyes
embrace
the madness of her beauty --
COULD YOU DOUBT
"this
soulless villain" wears upon his face
a
perfect simulation of devout . .
.
. . . pure, holy, sacred,
sodding soulful
love?
(Why ruin this perfect
thought with sodding "dove"?)

(2) A G*D
DAMNED rebel vampire . . . WITH A
CAR!!!!
(NO puny Mitsubishi . . . BUT
A DODGE . . .
. . . Desoto FireFlight,
Fifty-eight.) A STAR . . .
with nova'd
presence . . . who would soon dislodge . .
.
. . . "annoying" "big-bad" Collin --
"child" (outgrown
his ageless vampire
costume since last year,
surprising God-like Joss
who should have known
that children change in
size so much it's clear . . .
. . . this
ain't no vampire, buddy, just a kid.
A boring kid
at that. GOOD LORD, ENOUGH!
I'm writing 'bout new
Spike, then flip my lid
to ramble out a mile of
kiddy fluff . . .)
AS I WAS SAYING 'fore
I ran off track.
A STAR. TWO STARS. Two actors
with "the knack."

(3) WHAT'S UP
WITH BUFFY in this episode
where Spike
and his Drusilla come to town.
I guess you'd
say SHE hit the mother lode
of
credibility -- turned upside down . .
.
. . . maternal disappointment into
pride.
The fact that Buffy's faced
down death each week
meant "nothing" 'till her
mother opened wide
her peepers. Saw her
daughter cheek to cheek . . .
. . . with
deadly evil. Saw that evil blinked.
A brave,
resourceful daughter who thought first
of
others as Spike's soulless soldiers
slinked
about the school to satisfy their thirst
. . .
It changed the theme when momma
saved her butt.
(Ax-wielding Joyce
cracks Spike's head like a
nut.)

There's more to say "'bout that," but Spike &
Dru
are really all I want to sing
tonight.
How perfectly the actors, writers
too,
created pure, spectacular, delight .
. .
. . . by snapping vivid charcters
to life.
Two characters who clicked from the word
go.
Two characters carved by the finest
knife.
Two characters so sharp they raised the
show.
How marvelously crazy, vile, and sweet
. . .
Drusilla. Oh, Drusilla. Bless your
stars . . .
(One day you'll name them all. One
name. Repeat.)
No single tiny false move ever
mars . . .
. . . the chemistry of evil
that's so good
between these mighty two.
(As if it could.)
