I have started to write to breweries, to find out for myself whether their products are vegan. Many aren’t. Including former favourites that I had thought okay. Curses.

I read about you in the paper
your story, so sad
and bad
with all that you’ve been through

And thank God it wasn’t me
I thought,
sitting in my chair
feet in the air,
drinking coffee, and
having a biscuit

My black shirt

My new black shirt
is on the floor. I’d have
tried it in the wardrobe
but I would have lost it.

I like black shirts.

Rediscovered 21 January 2004. Relates to fashion, not politics, in case anyone wondered: I used only to wear black.
