on finding your keys
it's hailing in the where
i found top drawer
blue key ring
china etched beside
the pencils & the crayons
i dreamt i shoved
a helpless chick inside
my mother's nose
i couldn't pull feather
by the yellow dream
i dreamt i couldn't find
my spanish class like you
who have that dream of
finding not and failing who
i just the same
grandmother said
dream the i
& leave it out
but left is what
and what is who forgetting
the keys
