As the door closes

As the door closes
I remember
the keys…

Relatable situation, effective work.

Suggestion - in the first line: "As door closes, locks/I remember/the keys. . "

You, like myself, aren't a spoonfeed-the-reader writer, but I thought I'd throw it - as a fan and friend. =)

And how often this happens to me!

Thanks for the suggestion, Steve, and for reading as always! This particular little piece went through some consideration before I settled on just what you read here. I remember thinking that the inference from the words I used - "door", "closes", "remember", "keys" - should be adequate to let the reader know the door was locked and that I had locked myself out. But, it's all in the reading, I suppose!

Thankfully, I don't do this too often, Stella!
