What is the secret
to longer, lush
lashes
and why do
the answers to
important
questions 
like this one always

come as 
secret information,
that I feel
compelled 
to seek
in order to be
in step with
and in line with
life,
especially the one
(I have come to
know)
as a woman
in a giant
world
with no room
for
more?
