An Ode to Jay Gatsby
He lives in a mansion
 Across the bay from the green
 Never daring to cross the space in between
 
 He walks in the shadows
 Behind the mask of his guise
 Only visible to T.J.’s wandering eyes
 
 Extravagant parties
 That raged all through the year
 Hoping by chance that she would appear
 
 He hears her low whisper
 “I love you” in thin air
 But he turns in the pool and no one is there
 
 He walks down the shore
 Trying to repeat the past
 Unfortunately Daisy was driving too fast
 
 When he reached out his arms
 She turned out the light
 To retreat back to her money and clear out of sight
