Between 'Know' and 'Notice' and 'No'

Little Miss Vlad the Retailer,
Rejected by the fool of fools
Who dated Belle the Impaler?
I suppose over time, a poet learns
This passing disregard for design,
Mental ointment for psychic burns.
Sometimes, the cover hides the words
From those who might check you out,
Or the circling carrion-birds.
I've never seen you, only spotted.
It's not a real rejection if
I just don't know enough to be besotted.
