Bipolar Valentine

I feel happy for you
that love’s a deity or
a default of daily life
but I’m still stuck
angry and stupid
and totally pissed
with myself a lot
of hours not ours
got honed pumping water
at the sink in aesthetic
grandma’s house
I have only a vague idea
what that would mean
if the pope himself
won’t do penance and change
one doesn’t have to be
clairvoyant to know oneself
as the Greeks penetrated
frequently striving
but to hold up to no one
not a mirror or a clear
image of yourself.
