An addict came to a meeting
And said that he was new
He said that he’d met____
Who’d told him what to do
“Does anyone know ____, my friend?”
But everyone shook their head
Yet someone said, “We all knew him once,
Before he relapsed and ended up dead.
And every year on the day after the one
That an overdose took him away;
A newcomer appears at this meeting
And says that they met him yesterday.”
