11 o'clock ran around and i was locked out of my dorm.
so out comes the keyring and i fumble for the key of entry.
it's hidden within the folds of countless keychains.
keychains that i have picked up along the way.
the notre dame leprechaun with the screw up his ass
to show how i was screwed by the final exam.
the native american leather keychain with the red and blue beads
that seems to alternate in a pattern unknown to me.
the golden 'j' to represent my name.
the golden '96' to represent my graduation.
a sequin keychain given to my from my sister
who wanted me to remember the day.
the six flags keychain to remember a day
when i went on the big drop and shockwave and lots more.
the makeshift keychain of the blowtube i got for
that hilarious day i got caught drinking.

each of these keychains is a memory, and as time
goes on and the memory fades, the keychain deterorates
and the memory is lost.

and all the keychains decorate a ring with only my keys on it.
