I think it's time for you to get knee-deep into poetry:
Get drunk.
Read pieces out loud to haggard women and lousy old men.
Complain about metric.
Get drunk.
Wake up on a bench with books you didn't know under your arm.
Catch syphillis.
Corrupt the youth.
Get drunk.
Learn a new language in the half-assed way and enjoy poems in their original state.
Get drunk.
Get drunk.
Get drunk.
And get drunk on the sorrow, the putrefaction, the imperfection and all those things you find in people at midnight.
You either get numb enough to hang yourself from a lamplight or turn the page and see life under a new light.
