Schmaltz

Love can't even conquer the common cold

It can chemically instigate a war or armistice

But that's not love they will say

They've torn into the center of a man's heart and found chicken fat

And love can't do that

It can certainly put it there

Be a vehicle for

Ride alongside

But love runs after busses 

Just like the rest of us

And there is no saxophone or soft lighting

When the scene transitions

Love is in another room

With some other adventure

And you're waiting for the next bus

Late for work

And sick with a fever

Wondering where you can find

The best chicken soup ever
