Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Password

I.

Among the qwerty,

The only thing keeping my bank

account safe

Is the stroke of a password.

II.

Every time it rains

And I'm reminded of

Reemergence,

I change my password.

III.

The password like a poem:

One uppercase, two numerals, and three special characters.

IV.

A man and a woman

In bed.

Her hand guides his,

A password on skin.

V.

I do not know which to prefer,

The beauty of keys tapping

Or knuckles rapping

Staccato password,

"Come in."

VI.

Positive affirmations in the mirror.

The shadow of her password

Reminding her,

Hell yea, girl

youAREbe@utiful!

VII.

Why do you imagine

An impossible password

To unlock happiness?

Do you not see that

The right combinations

Of characters

Are dancing at your fingertips?

VIII.

I know you as well

As my email password.

We are an inescapable rhythm,

I can find you

Without looking.

IX.

When my dog died

I memorialized him in a password hint.

X.

Infinite passwords

Floating through space.

Everything is protected,

The universe knows our secrets.

XI.

He drove over GW Bridge

To see her smile, an encore.

Her lightning eyes indicated that

He mistook a one time invitation

For a password.

XII.

I am locked out again

Because I forgot my password.

XIII.

It was morning and we were sleeping.

We were dreaming

And we dreamed of secret passwords

That reveal boundless treasure,

"Open sesame."
