Foundku trio

With the 100th anniversary of the publication of "The Great Gatsby" exercising the synapses with a rereading, it was originally read in school many years ago, and finding unintentional sherku in Fitzgerald's writing.  Unintentional simply because I was not anywhere near him at that time, nor had the sherku idea occurred to me so I could share it and he could write accordingly.


A baby act
in costume,
champagne served 
in glasses 
bigger than 
finger-bowls


One of those
rare smiles,
the whole world
for an instant,
at that point
it vanished


Slow-thinking 
and full of 
interior 
rules, that act 
as brakes on 
my desires


Thanks to CB for the idea to revisit Gatsby
