On Watching Operas

for the first time in my life;
I can't help but wonder
at the tunes and the plots,
and I can't get over how like
film noir they all are, so far.

They start with a death
and explore the life
of the one who has died
and who killed them
then report of the corruption
in their circumstances.

I could mention testosterone
but what would be the point?
being larger than life is what matters,
and for being oversized
the characters tend not to be wise,
and leave behind lives left in tatters.
