we numb our pain

the obvious

drink & drugs

others bought

over the counter

from meeting

with the man

the doctor

paying on a plan

there’s sex

putting everything

on that donkey

to avoid feelings

wanting something

to never attain

fella standing

at the bar

I surfed so long

when I got home

I was too wasted

to see to her needs

reminds

just another one

avoiding his pain
