and in my identity papers file I found another draft, a sonnet, which I
thought I had lost. It is not a good move to keep poetry drafts with
your ID papers in Australia... this way leads to jail. But all the same,
the first draft of this sonnet was given as a wedding present to two
lesbian friends (which was nice, as she kept stealing my fountain pens I
used to write poetry while at work in a paid job. Okay, so they hired a
poet. Get over it!)
