about

Inspired by a meeting of my book club. We had read "The World's Strongest Librarian" by Josh Hanagarne. The author popped by and ripped up a deck of cards.

lyrics

In the coffee house of cards
we tic off all the books we read
through hours we weren’t in our beds
paying the night our disregard
and the queen of cups our lucre

We wait to see the closing play
gathered together in our pack
our author’s grip will break our backs
we fall into the discard tray
unmarked by an onlooker

I’d like to order coffee
but I daren’t miss my train
I’d like to order my life
but my brain quakes with the strain
I’d like to order coffee
but I daren’t miss my bus
I’d like to order my life
but not when it’s such a fuss

The TV saga of my life
scripts that aren’t yet begun
I can’t see how episode one
could find approval from my wife
I can’t see it on the cards
