FDA proscribes use of rival brands
pure coincidence

Wolverhampton 1987
furtive kisses outside your midnight door
your breath of cheap cheroots and barley wine
six feet away, your husband on the floor
jealous of the call of Artist Fine.
But marriage brings a ring as strong as steel
'tis not a chain that I can easy break
and so reluctantly apart we peel
for the sanctity of civil vows you take.
Your son is older than your lovers are
your daughter still at school and skipping still
and yet the furtive sex beneath a streetlight star
is your reclaiming power and a sense of will.
Divorce will never mar your rise to fame
for oil on canvas is your world to claim.
