Stan are you still awake <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What time is it in NYC <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two minutes past eight <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What time is it in the UK <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two minutes past one <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you doing <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching The Batman <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it good <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes it is very moody <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you seen it <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I watched it last night <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your thoughts <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I agree with you it is a moody film <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am I your catwoman <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes you are very feline in your movements <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are my Batman you know<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a darkness about you at times <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is NYC like Gotham <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It tries to be <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is too busy <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millions of people live different lives <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some live crazy lives and some live ordinary lives <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would I like it <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think so or maybe not <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is noisy dirty and busy and you feel crushed by the skyscrapers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What floor are you on <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third floor I insisted on that <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you see from your window <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A deli and a bar to the left and some apartments to the right <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you tired Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am totally fucked Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Same here I have had a full on day <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same but I feel that I have a cold starting <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor you <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you taken anything <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The usual <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then to bed now Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay you are right <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you realise that you are about 3600 miles from me <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you know that <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It popped up on the screen <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will watch the rest of the movie tomorrow <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I am going to pop down to the hotel bar for a nightcap <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A soft one I hope<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not drink you know that <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what are you going to do pick up a hooker <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not nice Jane I am just going to read a newspaper <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just watch the city that never sleeps <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is a cliche Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We agreed no cliches <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry Jane but it was an American cliche <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forgiven <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are the bat and I am the cat <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bats come out after dark but cats sleep <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where are you <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking towards the wet room <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember it we shagged in the shower <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I slipped and bruised my arse<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it still bruised <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is fading as I am <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for bed <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You sound sleepy <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep well Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share dreams <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes share dreams <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Till tomorrow <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Till tomorrow <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you cold fades <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So do I <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write a fiction a fiction Stan if you have trouble sleeping <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I already am <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheat <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will send it to you when you ring off <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are very special Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too fucking special <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep well Jane I will meet you in your dream in a couple of hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you then <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheerio Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goodnight Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring me back some candy <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have already purchased some for you <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are a fine fellow <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you are my lovely wife <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next sound I will hear is your mobile falling onto the carpet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dull thud <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is always a dull thud <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sometimes wish we had wooden floors <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
