New Year
‘It’s nearly midnight!’
a drunken man shouts
people feign excitement
5 4 3 2 1
another year
Shall we countdown to our deaths?
A man I can’t abide
approaches
extending a hand
woman
with florid face
broken veins
like vines
pouts for a kiss

NB if you want a copy of 'The Doctor, The Plutocrat, and The Mendacious Minister' (paperback signed) then it is cheaper to buy it from me than the American publishers, unless you live in France. From me it will cost you either, £9.99, 11.50euros, or 17US dollars. All prices include postage. For other currencies please ask.
