They Don't See Someone in Love
"They Don't See Someone in Love"
Went platinum coinciding
With the 3rd multimillion dollar
Week for the blockbuster movie
Of the same name...
No one heard a poet.
Whoever sang it sounded like
Whitney Houston...
Maybe it *was* Whitney Houston,
Maybe it was Celine Dion.
The movie starred someone like
Cameron Diaz or maybe it was
Jennifer Lopez or Kirsten Dunst.
I don't know who the guy was,
At all.
It wasn't Jack Nicholson.
Nobody played a poet.
Everybody liked it at first,
But then a lot of people
Began arguing
About it and calling
It utter trash.
They liked to do that.
A lot of people talked about it.
Nobody talked about poetry.
***
They Don't See Someone in Love
They don't see someone in love,
They see a lost face
With a nervous look,
A mirror of
A character displaced.
They see a blue sky
Or a gray sky,
Or a dark night.
