Bristling Valentine

Self-knowledge
is useless
if not merciless
understanding also
of others worthless
if not at least for a few
seconds selfless
first let me apologize
for existing
for bristling
which if sincere
leads to hard labor
unambiguous terms
of desire is there a
word for that first
necessary overlapping
when you learn to tie
your own shoelaces
tightening the bow
with one pull or
loosening with
another?
