Letters of L.O.V.E.
Love is a four-letter word
Accompanied by a hashtag before it
And an idyllic image of feet and hands and sun and sand shortly after
Love is a catchy little tune
A genetic je ne sais quoi produced by Pharrell and Phil Spector
A #1 hit with two Grammys, big money, no whammys, and no peers
The declarative imperative parroted by heretics with no fears
And on the day that a swaggering white-toothed sandman plants his seed in your ear
He'll tell you this:
L is licentious and lustful and light
O is oppressive, obsessive outright
V is voracious, vivacious and vague
And E is for me to know and you to forget
He wrote the book on being on the same page
And it's only one sentence:
L.If.E.
