Slides Into the Keyway
It's quite simple. His name is Jarvin, the keeper of the keys. Hooked to a belt loop, they dangle as he walks and make a hard kerplunk on the worn oak stool where he parks his keister for the long afternoon. Jarvin's your man when facing a locked door with no key. He specializes in doors. No pad locks. No vehicles. And no mailboxes, thank you very much! "Cylinder locks are my favorites, although I have plenty of keys for pin-and-tumblers, wafer-tumblers, and tubular locks," he says with the confidence of a guy who could teach a master locksmith a trick or two. "Keys are beautiful. Each one has a blade that slides into the keyway and the bow, which sticks out, so that torque can be applied by the user." Jarvin spends hours admiring the peaks and valleys cut into key blades. He has a skeleton key, which belonged to his grandmother's cedar chest where linens, a fistful of love letters tied with a salmon-color ribbon, and a silk lacy undergarment were locked up. An odd cedar chest key on the ring of a red-blooded door man – a bit strange, but true. after he passed – the mint Bruce Lee collection no one knew about ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Forget the Sofa Cushions In Miami, ”dazzling direct ocean views from expansive living, dining rooms and master suites” comes with a hefty price. For $9,450,000 it can be yours. I wouldn’t delay if I were you, since a primo property like this will go faster than a rabbit in heat. Time to cash in the CDs. Clear out the stocks and Euro junk bonds. Liquidate the pork belly futures. Sell the ostrich farm. Ebay the collectibles. Grab the Skippy Peanut butter jar crammed full of your paper route profits. Check under the mattress for wads of cash. Don’t forget the sofa cushions – all that change can add up. That pure, sparkly sea-blue view of Mamma Nature is waiting for you, and only you. sunbeam defined by dust • Jeffrey Winke is a haiku/ haibun poet and public relations counselor.
