zelda and scott

another infidelity

i thought they were a casual couple
zelda being the extravagant and boisterous loud girl
scott interested in only superficiality:
the gold girl looked good

the couple the biggest spender
alcoholic and hollow in the jazz age

zelda declined his proposal:
he could not support the gaiety she wanted

but they managed to marry

first in money
then with worry

zelda who didnt conform to normality
lost herself yielded to insanity
sent to sanitorium

scott left to win bread
wrote script
developed an affair with an actress
died

and after eight years the sane woman
resided under his shadow
lived with his ghost.

reality too drunk to be observed
sanity too sad to be true
