Police - The Nervous Breakdown Poem by Paul Warren

Police - The Nervous Breakdown



There was no reason for his stare
He drove his car like he didn't care
Passing us as if we weren't around
Veering left and bringing a shop verandah down

We stopped the patrol car and the crowd gathered
He didn't get out and acted like nothing mattered
The ambulance came and took him to the hospital
They said it was a nervous breakdown causing his fall

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Driving down Port road, Beverley one afternoon when a car passed us at speed. About 200 metres down the road it veered left off the road and took out a verandah post to a shop collapsing the front of a shop onto the car. We organised an ambulance and took him to hospital. A doctor diagnosed the driver as having a nervous breakdown.
