911, what is your emergency?

Info

No one really knows what to do

When there are seven paramedics going up and down your stairs

You just sort of stand there

And try to look ok

As they carry him out to a stretcher

That he should've been able to walk to

That he shouldn't have needed at all

You just stand there

And awkwardly try to stay out of the way

Try to melt into the floor

Try and slip into a shadow

And stay there
