KEYS

I keep misplacing keys.

I search
house, car, handbag, shed, garden, street, pocket, office, sofa, back of shoe rack, café, under the bed, fridge…..

Where did I put them? When did I last see them? Why am I so careless?....
Can I replace them? Can I do without?

Shrug.
I’ll have to see,
hope they turn up.

I googled
how to keep keep keys safe.
This brave new world told me
I might have lost the key
to life, understanding, love……,
in short,  to myself.
Interesting idea.

I search
silence, stories, science, dialogue, monologue, genes, memes, religions, rituals, rainbows, moments, memories…..

Where did I put them? When did I last see them? Why am I so careless?....
Can I replace them? Can I do without?

Shrug.
I’ll have to see,
hope I turn up.
