I have more keys than I know what to do with.
Key Change
My car, my house, my classroom.
These I recognize, but what about
those other familiar strangers-
jagged profiles stamped with
authoritative names:
Master, Liberty,
Best, True Value?
What was precious
enough
to lock away,
but now remains
unmemorable?
What else
has slipped
my mind,
along with equations
I used to balance,
lines from my
high school
play,
and phone numbers
of places
I used to
call
home.
