I could buy a suit for thirty shillings ...



I bought a red leather belt in A F Joys this afternoon - 

I slipped it around my waist, overshadowed by a grove of fragrant tweed - 

I've slimmed down since India - Anne sometimes dines on walnuts - 

I put on a red fedora - I imagined myself lolling in a jazz bar with a canary yellow tie - 

A man was having a fitting for his cashmere coat - 

Time was different in the long narrow shop - 

Around each rich garment hovered courteous ghosts - 

Airships flew over the gentle town - 

I could buy a suit for thirty shillings
