Keygnostic from THE CRP by Rectangle Creep

He arrives late to the red-bathed scene
Stricken like an offhand remark
They stood around with hollow faces
Outlined orange in the menthol smoke
To unfold the understanding
Brings his codex to bear
But every key is a lock

When symbols are tied down
And palimpsest’s not allowed
“Cut out that talk” he said
He had a father but not much of one

They’d chat over methadone
About the many ways of door-opening
And all the ways to properly insert a key
Because unlocking was a thing to be felt

Bring me another body bag
There’s only one way to look at this
When symbols are tied down
And palimpsest’s not allowed
