No weekday self

Hello All,

I've been racking my brains to understand a line of a poem by the fantastic Harryette Mullen:

"copulation from scratch
kisses go down hard
no weekday self
makes it bleed"

My question: Is "no weekday self" actually "no weekday itself" is enough to make it bleed ?
OR
is she trying to say that no "self" (that is, no "ego") of the weekday makes it bleed?

I appreciate any feedback on this.

Thanks a lot, Laumont.

I think that 'weekday self' means the boring, quotidian self that we usually exude.
