GATSBY, THE INTERLOPER
Folder:
JOURNAL#31 so much deprivation
amid so much vulgar abundance
the shock inside
grows whiter
than the drapes that align every window
those randy flappers relished in
the grossness and leisure
that was their time
they tittered in their tiny tea cups
as they cloaked themselves in a fragile
glass mockery
over the world
in which they, self deludingly
presided over
such vague reflections of upper society
they lavishly cast upon their own lives
existing for the next fleeting amusement
their hearts had an incredibly thick hide
and 'Gatsby, The Interloper'
arrived just in time
to play their game back in their court
a little rougher but polished

the shocker we knew not what
but we still waited for it
his house of cards
a busy fire
that scorched the hearts and minds
of those in his game he gathered around........
