Analysis of Cover Letter
24 and already dead, but
still kicking at the status quo.
Femme fatale, dangerous...
prefers to be stuck in a book
or out in the wilds.
Completely unknown -
secretive, she says,
but we really know
it's paranoia.
Stimulations arrive in spots
of mental melding (meddling?).
No one to talk to now.
Live a full life but
define the self as
kicking at the status quo,
already dead and 24.
