Carson, Flannery, and Jerome line the bookshelves at home

Waiting tables in some café to pay my student loans

If they didn't make me sneeze, I'd get a cat and name her Eloise

Someone to talk to, in the least

A listless intellectual in her prime

Scrabble high score: 409

With nothing remarkable to leave behind

Smoking lights, working nights

And frequent trips to the public library

Don't make much of a life

But it's all going to change

Maybe tonight

I'm leaving something

To remember me by

A listless intellectual in her prime

Scrabble high score: 409

And the note on the bed

True love is hard to find
