I look at all sorts of different eyelashes: long ones, short ones, wavy ones. I can’t not notice eyelashes. People talk to me but I can only see their eyelashes flutter.

His eyelashes are so long and elegant. Her eyelashes move like a butterfly. His eyelashes have such an interesting and sassy personality. I want to hang out with them.

Want to grab coffee some time? I say to his eyelashes. I think we should be friend.

What? the man says.

I wasn’t talking to you, I say. I only care about your lashes.
