you get a call
it’s too early
but too late all at once
you get a call
it is after midnight
he has the bottle in hand
you get a call
it is early morning
the pills are down his throat
you get a call
it’s one am
he tells you not to worry
you get a call
you don’t know how to feel
he says he’s done the bottle
(you don’t know if he means the pills or the water)
you get a call
you don’t know what to do
you get a call
it ends too soon
based off the time when my friend called me during a suicide attempt
