Joe

Sam

Long time no see

For me it was

Long time too much sea

How are you

Mending

My nose injury was more serious than I thought

You were hit by a boon

I was hit by my own stupidity

It was like standing on a railway line

And wondering why a train hits you

There was a lot of blood

I guessed that my nose was broken

It did not stop bleeding

Alarm Bells

Thanks to my crew

It was serious but not serious

We were at sea

A million miles from nowhere

Long story

Richard contacted me straight away

New York New York

Serious damage done

Fragments if you get my drift

Was the operation successful

Very but no more sunsets for a while

Are you back in Richmond

Yes

Virginia

No

England

Yes

It comes with a floating pub

Is Sephine looking after you

Very much

Although face sitting is out

🙂

I have some news

All ears

Josie is engaged

Who is the poor sod

Sephine

Sephine

Yes

Let me get this right

Your engagement to Sephine was noted in the Times

My mother put it there I believe

Typical Mummy

Are you saying that Josie is engaged to Sephine as well as you

Yes what is wrong with that

Nothing I suppose but others might not see it that way

Fuck them

Sephine and Josie go back a long way

Josie seduced her when it was not encouraged

They have been lovers ever since

That is why Josie played cupid

As she knew that we would end

So she encouraged Sephine

It was not hard

As Sephine had loved me for years

I was just so fucking blind

I was uncomfortable with the dynamic

It was all about me

We let things drift

Sephine and Josie were still lovers

And I was in a relationship with Sephine

That is part of the reason we decided to sail

Were you running away

No

Far from it

There were other reasons which I have discussed

The voyage soon cleared our heads

The simplicity of the sea

We were not doing anything wrong in Gods eyes

Far from it

God is Love

I agree

I loved Sephine

I had been in love with my sister for nearly twenty years

What was wrong with that

Nothing

God is Love

But Josie had suffered as in theory she had lost me

We had agreed to breathe

You might be aware that Josie had a breakdown of sorts

I had to chase her around Europe

She really lost touch with reality

It was obvious that we were joined at the hip

What about Sephine

The beautiful thing about Sephine is her calm manner

But that hides so much

She could have snatched me away from Josie

Even though she was still fucking my sister

But she did not see things like that

I was everything she ever wanted in a man

But I was not her possession as she is not my possession

I was asked about Josie’s relationship with Sephine

It was never on my radar as I considered it normal

You can love more than person and whilst homosexuality is appalling and corrupt in men it is the opposite in women

They are different creatures

It is so fucking obvious

Who thought up the idea

It was a joint idea

But the germ originated with me

I was engaged to Sephine

So why could Josie not be engaged to Sephine

It was a triangle

The strange thing was that we had all been going in the same direction

Josie and Sephine became engaged whilst at sea

And this is where that things turned a little strange as the very next day I was injured by the boon

Are you saying what I think you are saying

In a way

God is Love but God never forgives

Who knows

As you know I lost my father at sea

But what is unknown is that shortly before he died my father who was a man of the cloth helped to finance a number of mercenaries to overthrow a bunch of Marxists in a corrupt desert somewhere in Africa

It achieved its aim but it was more bloody that daddy had envisaged

It haunted him for the rest of his life

He felt guilty and was not at peace with his God

Did you agree with him

Yes I would have done it myself

But that is another story

He felt that God was angry with him

The following year he was lost at sea

Mummy and I were of the same opinion

So are you saying that your accident

I would not presume to think that way

But was it just the mathematics of coincidence

Who knows

What I did was what I considered right

It is all about love and belonging

If God is cross with me then my father drew the short straw

What is that Joe

What is what

There appears to be a Susan poem on the loose

Is it one of yours

I am going to spank her arse

One of the problems

About writing about women

Is that they are so unpredictable

Shall I clap my hands

If you would and tell the silly girl

That I own the bookshop

Susan waited for the returning crews 

And greeted them in a joyful manner 

Whenever they visited her bookshop

They frequently brought exotic gifts 

Sorry about that a poem has escaped
