Some couples complete each other. She may have thin, theoretical lips. He may have enough for both of them. He may possess an expanse of forehead. Her hairline low, Neanderthal. Her jaw could anchor a frigate. He may be chinless.
I consider my ears elephantine. My nose too broad. My eyebrows like two brushes abandoned in a shed. And don’t get me started on my eyes, sunk far back into my skull, whites gleam like flashlights in a cave.
If you see someone with small ears, a narrow nose, pencil-thin brows and bulbous eyes, do me a favour. Introduce us.
