Going downtown, or hanging out with friends
Or to a private party, or out to the lake
Getting wasted, talking about anything but you
Works every time
But not this time
Seeing a show I've always wanted to see
A film festival, an exhibition, or a reading
Any polemic to shock my numb, jaded mind
Works every time
But not this time
Hiking somewhere I can be by myself
Or blowing everything off and going out to the sea
Trying to find a reason I should ever come back
Works every time
But not this time
