"Someone with a broken knee gets off the tram and their seat is taken by another person, also with a broken knee."

A moment passes and you find yourself staring at the door, supposing the number of limping people getting on the vehicle is stuck on a loop. You might think you've heard this one before. You might have an idea of what happens next. Your assumptions may or may not turn out to be true.

The focal point of 'key' revolves around repetition; a sequence developed, echoed, then disarranged. Try closing your eyes and imagining two people sitting across a wooden table conversing in patterns on a shared piece of paper. One pencil drawing a design, another disrupting it, going over the edges. Just when you start sensing what might follow, the sequence breaks and you find yourself being led in another direction.

Notice the images moving past your ears: a story told with a soft voice, a murmur, a hazy memory, a song that sticks with you throughout the day, but you can't recall its name or the artist who performed it, and there's no need to check. 

After reaching your destination, get on your feet, feel your knees cracking. Leave the tram, cherishing this hint of uncertainty.

[Lyric]
And once with 
a mouth like a cup, 
clay colored or blood colored, 
open like the breakwater 
for the lost ocean 
and open like the noose 
for the first head. 

Once upon a time 
my hunger was for Jesus. 
O my hunger! My hunger! 
Before he grew old 
he rode calmly into Jerusalem 
in search of death. 

This time 
I certainly 
do not ask for understanding 
and yet I hope everyone else 
will turn their heads when an unrehearsed fish jumps 
on the surface of Echo Lake; 
when moonlight, 
its bass note turned up loud, 
hurts some building in Boston, 
when the truly beautiful lie together. 
I think of this, surely, 
and would think of it far longer 
if I were not… if I were not 
at that old fire. 

I could admit 
that I am only a coward 
crying me me me 
and not mention the little gnats, the moths, 
forced by circumstance 
to suck on the electric bulb. 
But surely you know that everyone has a death, 
his own death, 
waiting for him. 
So I will go now 
without old age or disease, 
wildly but accurately, 
knowing my best route, 
carried by that toy donkey I rode all these years, 
never asking, “Where are we going?” 
We were riding (if I’d only known) 
to this. 

Dear friend, 
please do not think 
that I visualize guitars playing 
or my father arching his bone. 
I do not even expect my mother’s mouth. 
I know that I have died before— 
once in November, once in June. 
How strange to choose June again, 
so concrete with its green breasts and bellies. 
Of course guitars will not play! 
The snakes will certainly not notice. 
New York City will not mind. 
At night the bats will beat on the trees, 
knowing it all, 
seeing what they sensed all day.

Allegories for the coming floods // being awashed 
The city is a pit and will be washed away first 
Only a field of love will remain 

* 

Unfortunately for you 
the steps necessary 
Are obscured 
Progression is not guaranteed 
Only conflict and strife 
As obstacles and challenge 

skill and time are your only friends 
Resources you must spend 
Muscles that must relax and flex 
Soules that must be exploited 

Will you react to the outsider 
Or trust in yourself 
And will you cry 
When you finally 
Break through.

*
