no one asks her age

No one asks troll woman her age She is older than the petrified forest twice as old as the snow-capped mountains Savvy, sage, seasoned, Smithsonian-trained Hard-working too her followers report Her fawning fans glom onto every word Embellishing her feats with adjectives of grandeur She stacks rocks on her head, consuming none of their flattery.
