Minuscule

To what do I owe this introduction,
But of course,
The grandness unseen,
I show no remorse,
I can't intervene.
The plot appears lonesome,
No style or content to accompany,
The little nothings that I present - but a fragment of significance.
"Thank You for Not Smoking" signs litter walls in a smoggy room,
Minuscule deterrent to would-be non-smokers,
Thank you for not smoking in the smoking section.
"I love you's" dance across the pages,
Of over-rated novels,
Contemporary romance.
"I love you" means little,
Simple way to end a page and begin a new.
The phrase that now means short term - till I find a replacement.
Tentative love - unreal
Does minuscule mien not suffice you?
