class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was so nice to run into you again <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes it was a nice surprise <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How long is it <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About six years I think <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I left you on that railway platform in India <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was on the run <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes the cops were after you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How did you leave the country <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I bribed an official <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you still with Allen <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No he ran off with a girl from New Zealand <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe he married her <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still on my own <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No passions since then <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not really <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tend to float from girl to girl <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you working <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a gallery in Smith Street <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I pass it most days on my way to work <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then we were always going to meet again <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How long have you been there<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six months <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I smile when I think of all the jobs you have picked up <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you still as uninhibited <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes but possibly less wild <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like the cut of your hair it suits you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have not changed Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you realise that I always fancied you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So why did we never fuck <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because I liked you as a friend and I did not want to take away your space <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we had got together I would have smothered you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you had any success with your writing <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a way yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have your poems been published <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes and no but I self publish <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have never really wanted fame <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not really <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are so different Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tell me about your job <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barry&#8217;s dad owns the gallery <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lisbon Barry <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you do <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I arrange exhibitions <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you enjoy your work <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes but some of the artists are right cunts <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They have one exhibition and they have arrived <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is an artist named Sue Hill who everybody thinks is the next big thing <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is she <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does she paint <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a way but she spends most of the time taking photographs of her cunt <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then she transfers them to canvas <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was a review in the Guardian last week <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They loved her work <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do think of it <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pretentious shit <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is saying nothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you remember when I was working on the webcam channel <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clearly <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You came to get me <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was lying on that floor stark naked with shit pouring out of me <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But nobody cared <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was only when Annie told you that you found me <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You kicked that freak in the building down stairs <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then placed me in the back seat of your new car shit puke and all and took me to the hospital <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was very ill but you were always there and asked for nothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When mummy and daddy arrived to take me home you just faded in the background <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I should have been an artist <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is my art <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lying half dead in a rented house <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Covered in shit <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep your cunt Sue Hill you are a fucking fake and you know it <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pretty one question <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fire away <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you know Annie called me out of the blue to alert me to your situation as I was only four hours away across the border <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why was she watching this channel <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I asked her to as I had been involved in some weird shit <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porno <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a way <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was scared but I was not clean by far <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just asked her to keep an eye at times<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What could she do <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not much but it comforted me <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are still confused by the whole story even now <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In what way <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Annie was in the house with you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She shared your flat but it was not her night <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But she kept tabs on you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little Annie <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was just pure luck that she checked on you and the rest is history <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How did she know where you were <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She had kept my number<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Annie did try to alert the authorities but nobody was interested <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So she rang me as I was only hours away <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She did go to the building but the caretaker became very unpleasant with her <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Annie was scared <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scared for you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scared for yourself <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was such a horrible period <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You cannot change history Pretty <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How is Annie <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She lives in Scotland now <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ross <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do I know him <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I doubt it <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe can we make this a regular place to meet <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would like us to meet at least twice a month <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fine by me <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No strings <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No strings <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is so good to see you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After all this time <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I feel safe with you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was in your nightmares <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But now you are in my dreams <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That will be nice <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Till then Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheerio <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take life slowly Pretty <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not a race <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was so nice to run into you again
