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.

Big oops also, credited busker instead of dukealien, fixed, sorry duke.

No prob, honored to be mistook for @Busker  Wink

Yours is well done, more heart.  A little sketchy for blank verse in spots, but political-adjacent subjects seem to call for free verse anyway.

Woke up with ideas for my rondeau, somewhat seized of it.  Will post to a crit forum when ready; don't hold breath.
