Untitled Shared at Dec 01, 2021 Camel jazz Gatsby

I found you in a 
jazz
bar.

They had been playing jazz that night. Duh. 

Camel
was what I was puffing on. You had a cigar.

I felt like Zelda and thought you could be my Francis. In fact I thought you could be my 
Gatsby
. You were from the states so you hated America. I was from here so I couldn't think of a more romantic place to live. Couldn't think of a better place to smoke a cigarette. To sip a gin and tonic. And fall in love with an American like you.
