Typically, it seems that, given one's, (well,
my, but let us say one because it seems so much less personal and thus I can ignore it from a greater distance) idiotic behavior and foibles and moments of less than totally heroic proportions and heartbreaks (though this is hardly a heartbreak and more of an embarrassing lapse in drunken judgement), one (self) might comfort himself in writing poetry of the experience.
Generally, these horrible experiences tend to right themselves when they can be placed in verse, arranged prettily in words upon a page for others to experience, and in the sharing of emotions and their appropriate conveyance.
Generally and typically, of course. The "Accidental Valentine Affair, as I've seen put to call it, should span thousands of thousands upon words, and rhymes and reasons. It is the perfect food for any romantic heart, as much as Duke Orsino and The Immortal Bard would have us look to music. Music has its roots in pain as well, and my flute and I have surely spent much time together in long and miserable dwindling hours at home, but again, this time, no inspiration from my horrible mistake, my drunk debauchery and the embarrassing results that I might channel into work.
It really IS most unfair that one may have a most unsatisfying night, and a full two weeks later, cannot even turn it into something useful. By the Gods, whatever Gods may be, can I not have something of a use for the awful sex? One ought to think my muses did approve of this by now.
