Gatsby & Daisy

Her nervous laugh

is the ***** of a champagne glass

he does not care she has no brains

he worries about his tie

asks her to confess

she never loved Tom

showing off his wealth

built on the sand grains

of dodgy business & deceit

& brick of bravado

a siren, she has called his heart

to sail to her across the years

all to end in a gunshot

by a pool

Notes

Have been watching the various movie versions of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald & hope to re-read the book soon. I think the 1974 movie version with Robert Redford is the best movie version there is. Btw, if you've not read the book/seen the film & don't know what happens, she doesn't shoot him & he does not shoot her, he gets shot by someone because of something she does by accident.
