I toss a bunch of keys'

I toss a bunch of keys
In the air,
And the sky opens.
Perhaps the key
Of my strongbox
Fitted it.
High up
In the clear sky
I see five fighter jets appear
And disappear,
And inside the strongbox
One or two cockroaches
That refuse to come out
Even when the box is
Held upside down.
