Fentanyl With Friends (edit) (after dukealien)

Fentanyl With Friends  (after Busker's Good News, But Cold)

One shot of Narcan may not be enough
but two or three might do the magic trick,
administered by cops or fam or friends.

Ohio's welcome center has a box
inserted in the lobby wall that says
"Find overdose materials inside."

Our laws were changed, they now decriminalize
the 911 call, no ones's charged with any drug
offense when calling in an overdose.

A father left alone to raise his girls
takes home a bit to drift off before bed.
His solitary habit did him in,
now two more babes are left to family.
To live another day with fentanyl
it's best at least to somewhat socialize.

I know it is in miscellaneous but, I really like this!

Specifically, the details that work as bridge metaphors, the line breaks are solid (love the one on box).

Couple hiccups on meter but overall - excellent.  Simply drawn, no judgement, tells a story, leads the reader, non preachy

So many things about it I adore!
