Ambulance



Where’s the ambulance?
the medic?
the nurse?
Can’t you see
I’m f*cking dying here
Are you blind?
I need an ambulance
A doctor
A nurse
What the f*ck is he doing here?
Who let him in?
Where’s my Mother?
Mother
Mother
I want my mother
I could smell his rancid breath
As he leant over and mumbled
the Ritus Continuus  
What the f*ck is he doing here?
Who let him in?
I need an ambulance
I need a dr
Not a priest
Definitely not a priest
I could hear his rosary beads rattling
in his shaking hands
as he whispered
“Our lord the redeemer”
into my ear
Get him the f*ck away from me
Get him out of here
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
What’s he doing here?
I need a dr
not a shaman
I need an ambulance
Not a sermon
What’s he doing here?
I don’t need a priest
I don’t need prayers
I don’t need saved
I don’t need blessed
I need a medic
I need an ambulance
I’m dying for f*cks sake
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I want my mother
Mother
Mother
Mother……..
Where’s the ambulance?
Where’s the medic?
Where’s the nurse?
Where’s my mother?
I need my mother
Mother
Mother
Mother

Mother………
