Gatsby

when i was young (17 or so)
i wanted to be Gatsby:
a man of mystery, devotion,
love, and of solemn nature
while the world around me crumbled
at the hands of flappers, wealth,
and bathtub gin

only i wanted to get the girl in the end
and i wanted not to die

oh, and i hate the color yellow -
my car would be black
