Woman

Rummaging through the vintage shelves of womanhood
I Found volumes and volumes
"The perfect woman" each of them read
Books with ancient bindings
Yet, never renewed, reprinted or revised
Opening them in haste
I found a content page crammed with letters
Chapter 1: Endurance
Chapter 2: Endurance
Chapter 3: Endurance
And so forth until the 57th chapter
The 58th chapter read : Happiness
I rushed to read it then
Just to discover a missing chapter
The 58th chapter was a myth, it never existed
