DRUGS Poem: The Blue Man, by Meghan Davis

Blue / blue / his face was blue / he wasn’t breathing / screaming / mom was screaming / 911 / 911 / someone call 911/ hello what’s your emergency / my father isn’t breathing / do you know how to do cpr / no / okay press on his chest / count with me / 1 2 3 4 / 1 2 3 4 / 1 2 3 4 / 1 2 3 4 / he was still blue / why wasn’t he breathing / so pale / so blue / lifeless / dead / dead / dead / ambulance is here / it’ll be okay / my heart is in my throat / he can’t die / he can’t die / what would I do without him / he’s my whole world / dead / dead / paramedic sprays something up his nose / narcan / it’s narcan / oh no / oh no / did he relapse / he starts breathing / where did he get the drugs / why would he do this to me / he’ll always be a recovering addict / he won’t be able to outrun the blue man forever / blue man / blue man / I’ll still love him forever though / he’s my whole world / I’m nothing without him / blue / blue / my world is blue
