and
i lied when i said
i didn't want to kiss you again even Scotty Fitzgerald
knew Zelda was in bed
with a pilot
not the airplane he flew
before she was grounded
in a different sort of bed
yet he loved her
far beyond his written world
of Gatsby and a strange friendship with Hemingway
in France
and the dancing herd
of the jazz age
it had seemed all the rage
to sail and sun and drink well before three
yet he loved her
when he no longer could write from memory
and
i lied when i said
i didn't want to kiss you again
