the keys to the kingdom

~doing things for the last time these days
driving by Charlotte Motor Speedway (yes!)
driving the Pooter ;(
opening the back door
looking down at my hand, rolling the keys like prayer beads over my fingers


hmmm...back door key, won't need that one, leave it here
well, front door key too, leave it
and then, well, there's the Pooter key, leave that one too
file drawer key..off the key ring


and that leaves me with NO KEYS!


bereft


I spend so much time being careful of my keys
the keys to my life


don't get locked out of the car, the house,
(remembering John busting me, all climbed up on the garbage barrel, trying to squeeze through their bathroom window :)


don't forget your file drawer key or you won't be able to work without the laptop.


all gone


and my keychain with the awesome compactable shopping bag that will hold a week's worth of tofu and beans and beer


useless...devoid of its very important purpose


no keys


am i still real without keys?


feels funny
