keys

I have too many keys.
old keys.
cars,
houses, mysterious keys.
gold
and silver keys.
mailbox keys,
keys to locks I've
lost,
keys to boxes, or trunks,
keys
to someone else's house.
the garage key,
the back door,
the front.
I have a drawer
full of keys.
a ring of keys.
keys that won't turn,
broken and bent.
keys
for the maid, for
the plumber.
a key under the mat,
under the plant
out back.
a key in the shed
hanging on a nail.
I have a key
in an envelope, no
note attached, sent
via
mail.
