Two Keys

Two keys he had, one to lock, the other to unlock. He had carefully picked the mechanism that latched the door, to tomorrow, a future he imagined only yesterday; it could never again be disturbed or entered, never to be burgled by his eyes again. Two keys he had one he threw away that same day. Even so he could still recall the crash of residual trash. 'Then a hush fell over Jerusalem.'

I'm not sure I understood this poem, Eric, but I certainly enjoyed reading it and pausing to think about what you are saying.
