Careless people In pinstriped suits and Cocktail dresses. Around is passed the Inward ****** Wishing to arise. Girls-- Golden Girls, Fancy shoes on, The heartbroken dance to Speedy music, Growing faster every spin, Wanting to be looked at The way every girl does. They wonder, "Will I be loved when I'm old and Not beautiful?" Guys-- Tonic doesn't work, The green light leaves. They dance with the girls, But can't keep a promise. All the bright precious things Fade. They will never come back. Fancy shirts and parties Will not heal the broken. So we beat on. These were careless people, Destined to fail. These were drunken on the Idea of love, Wishing for more than They were willing to give. These were beautiful little fools. Eyes will watch and see.

Inspired by The Great Gatsby Dizen Definition: To dress in a very gaudy fashion.
