It took Some Effort, but I Have a Passport
My passport arrived today! It was quite an effort getting it. The process started over six months ago and the events relating to getting the passport were surprising to me if not astonishing. I went to get a new picture after I received a call informing me that I was grinning in the photo, which isn’t allowed. When I brought in the non-grinning photo the passport officer told me I needed to show my ears in the photograph. What!…I was totally flipping here… I’ve never heard of this requirement and I wondered what other unwritten rules they might have under the table. No turtlenecks? No makeup? Hair pulled back with a headband? When the officer saw that I was going to go insane, he went to speak to someone and then said it was okay and that I could go.
Now that I have a passport, I’m free to go wherever I want. Where should I go? Who wants to come?
