Neighbor Down

Fallen, not breathing, gone grey. His buddy presses on his stomach and he emerges, sucking in deep, blowing out white foam. A mysterious mission interrupted, he dropped while walking across the yard with a chain saw. Adam, we say, help is coming. Not old, he has aged himself drinking like he does. Pulling myself away, I think, another neighbor down.
