My Religious Friend
Permit me to bend
your ear.
That look! Oh my friend,
I'll steer.
Just follow along.
You see
there was this glass bong
and me,
and there goes that look
again.
You should have that looked
at, Tim.
Your reaction is
tell-tale.
Really, it's no sin -
you're pale!
Take a deep breath, Tim.
In, out.
What were you thinking?
In, out.
Here. Sit on this chair.
Dizzy?
Loosen your tie, there!
See me.
Concentrate. You'll be
alright.
You feel so clammy,
uptight.
When was the last time
you went
to get checked? You're fine?
Here bend
forward. Head between
your knees.
Fine you do not seem.
Just breathe.
Let me take your pulse.
Relax.
This is not your fault.
In fact
this is just Nature.
Go home.
and when you're secure,
alone,
draw yourself a bath.
lay back -
Tim? Where are - come back!
Come back!
