Self-Valentine

We both got one
but I wanted to know
what I looked like
from what others really
felt and were feeling
if love is not an opinion
the way fear is a conjecture
or at least a marketplace
of yesterday’s seedless ideas
(Gillespie cheeks blowing
their adolescence away)
but not for us alone
did the gods feel the need
to undertake a mission
to our superficial world
but that even among them
some humor still exists
where the self is concerned
