The open secret of opera
Is that it's only about a few notes
While a man ruins a woman
Or a woman ruins a man
Or a whale rescues a man
Swallowing him whole
In his coffin belly
A few notes that last for three days
Three years three centuries
On stage the blue whale's mouth
Is always open and singing
And it sits there
Like a Trojan Horse
Waiting to be taken in
The great leviathan of love
