What is a key?
Questioning the meaning of the word key
What is a key?
Is it a small piece of metal
Used to open doors?
Is it a plastic device
Used to execute computer programs?
Or could it be more?
Can a key open
Vast treasures?
Money,
Heirlooms,
Assets,
Memories,
Can a key open all of these?
Some might say
A key can open
The secrets of a heart
Whether they be evil or good.
Thus when people ask
What is a key?
What does it do?
What is its purpose?
It’s a device that opens locks,
Whether they be physical, metaphorical, or surreal.
What is a lock?
The key to this
Can be found
In the future.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
