Champagne and extravagance
world of Fitzgerald
lights up the driveway
a party in full swing
dressed for the evening
history might fall
your way tonight
my friend
like tossed cards
in the pool
we float on
chance
all yesterdays
abandoned
for the electric present
of the opera singer's
immaculate note
carried over the lawn
as women dissolve
behind the blinds
a shuttered world
of Maserati and Saint Laurent
leather bound
Afghan hound
silver chains
string quartet
and for you Sir
simply a dash of lemon

"In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars" F. Scott Fitzgerald
