STRIP STOCK 1 (excerpt -- first published in Former People)

Calm has returned

To the goldest of streets,

And at lunchtime

When the exchange is half empty

There's a club

Where the stout men go.

They go for the show

Of the pretty, lean girls

And they drink in their bodies

While nursing tart beer.

And all through the darkness

Of the underlit club

Business boys are glowing

As the girls spread butter

On their tawny brown legs....
