If feeling sorry for each other truly improves our lot,

Let’s do it, let’s commit:

We can get together often,

Run our hands tenderly over each of our woes,

Lovingly arrange them, show them to one another –

And sort them into chronological order.

We can go back in time to find ones we may have forgotten.

Let’s collect woes!

If we don’t have enough, we can adopt other people’s woes –

Let’s do it,

Let’s commit.
