I cannot get rid of a key
Even if all the locks have been changed
I never know when
It just might let me in
So I keep a bowl full waiting for that day

I hope mine is there
Actually this truly is about a weird thing I have with keys. I cannot throw them out. It doesn’t make sense, and I wouldn’t say I am particularly hopeful person. I tend to be more of a creative realist, pessimist even. But perhaps it is some small attempt at hope or belief. Who knows….
…or perhaps it is about a fear of being locked in/out and not having the key. That is always another possibility. Where is Freud/Lacan/Jung when you need him? 🙂
