Poetic Television Review: Do Not Resuscitate (The Sopranos, S2X02, 2000)

In twilight's hush, where shadows play,
A tale of frailty unfolds by day,
Tony Soprano's world, a complex web,
Weaves old age, death, and human transience.

A DNR directive, a medical wish,
To spare families from love's bitter swish,
Livia's fate, a thread so fine,
Tangled in desire, and family's design.

Janice's desperation, a desperate plea,
To reconnect with mother, lost to her,
Meadow's counsel, a gentle, guiding hand,
But Livia's heart, a hardened, ancient land.

A.J.'s innocence, a misinterpreted dream,
Leads to suspicion, and a heart that bleeds,
Livia's fear, a whispered, anxious tale,
That Janice seeks her out, for her inheritance's trail.

Meanwhile, Uncle Junior, a shadow of the past,
A prison's chains, a freedom that won't last,
Tony's mask, a careful, calculated guise,
A boss, a family man, with secrets in his eyes.

Fred Capuano's name, a whispered, ominous call,
A retirement home's owner, with rumors to enthrall,
A disappearance, a dark, silent night,
A family's secrets, hidden from the light.

Rev. James Sr., a veteran's gentle soul,
A World War II hero, with a story to unfold,
A death that reveals, a truth so cold,
A labour dispute, a financial gain to hold.

Pussy Bonpensiero, an FBI informant's shame,
A betrayal, a trust, a family's name,
A handler's doubt, a justified fear,
A web of deceit, that's hard to clear.

Do Not Resuscitate, a title so profound,
A reflection of our mortality's ground,
A well-crafted episode, with themes so grand,
A reminder of our human, fragile hand.
