Long Keyless Poems

genius?

Dream Keys
      by Odin Roark

A NY mantra
Rent the rentable
Move the movable
Key the keyable

Four-wall-guardian of yesterday’s youth
Vacuous cellmates of old age loneliness
All part of a cyclic maze
All having a key

Have me confuse I must confess
Cause while I spending more money
Everything else is getting less

touches my hair and pats me gently
letting me doze into a comfort
reminiscent of a womb of irretrievable memory
i fall asleep

the moon, like hope

mother nature's nightlight 
beckons me into...

We're born keyless
then given our first key to play with
we earn our first key of responsibility

The inner resources of our being
attacked to it's very inward core
you think this is stealing my identity
devastated looking dead on the floor
 
No matter much you try to lift
nothing works from your present state

Cars today do not come with keys.
You are handed a little elongated remote fob thing.
Silver and black, looks science fiction-ish.

If you are me, you think there is a button somewhere.
If you flick it, the teeth...
