what's your password?

i was surprised

at the pearly gates when

St. Peter

asked me if i had identification,

and if i remembered

my password.

the line was long

and restless.

people had been waiting

on line for weeks.

all the paperwork,

the notebooks,

the laminated cards with

all the passwords

were at home

in the safe.

try this one, i said.

Betty123#.

He rolled his eyes and said,

okay, then shook

his head.

did you use an uppercase B?

you did?

okay, okay, what about,

Stephanieyum111.

he typed that in.

nope.

one more shot and then i have

to move on to the next

person.

i closed my eyes and concentrated.

okay.

try this one.

i think this is it.
