A Poem by Richard Lane

i have a tendency to thrive in
the midst of chaos 
and that's the only other explanation i have for how
i was able to think up lyrics to a
possible song in order
to keep myself calm as i was riding in the passenger side
of the ambulance this
past september 14th
as my father was being transported to franklin square hospital
less than an hour after
i called 911 when my father was having breathing problems 
that very well could have turned into something
much worse if i had walked away and done nothing
