He once asked me
What was one supposed to do when you were interested in
another person
I didn’t think,
“understand him”
“love what he loves, listen to what he listens to, see the
world from his eyes”
he didn’t comment, but in my vague memory he said
“it's a pity you cannot own the person you love”
Today I rewatched The Great Gatsby
I wrote Daisy a letter three years ago.
Titled: “ a letter from Jay Gatsby” venue: Gatsby’s poolside
before he was shot
I wonder what I’ve written.
I was amazed at how differently the same movie spelt itself
out
This time, I am mesmerized with Mia Farrow’s hats and hats
and hats.
I no longer cared too much about the missing subtitles or
the lines that appeared in the book and never got to the screen
I was amazed, like moths attracted to the light, no more
I secretly admired Nick Carraway, being an important nobody
who always get to see the entire of Gatsby’s house
The green light. Though, still caught my eye
The villains of love, and who are they?
Its just a movie
It’s just love.
