Josie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marie Popol <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How are you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am very well <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How is Paris treating you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes bad <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes good <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Paris is always a whore <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Henry Miller <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can tell that you are Joe’s sister <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you well <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well but very busy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This said poor Joe has been under the weather <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poor child <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poor me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He gets so grumpy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hardly get to speak to him <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He just writes as if in a delirious state <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of his work is quite amazing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I understand so little of it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Join the club <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie have you ever heard of the movie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last Tango in Paris <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes many times <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is one of Joe’s favourite movies <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At last count I think he has over a dozen DVDs <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He hands them out to people visiting <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So that they might appreciate Brando at his finest <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My father says it is a reckless film <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you seen it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes on a number of occasions <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you like it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like it very much <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is the story <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is about an American in Paris <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who has lost everything <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His country <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His Wife <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has lost his dignity <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has lost his character <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His is a slow suicide <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He meets a girl in an empty flat <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And has intense physical affair with her <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is often naked <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whilst Paul (Brando’s character) remains clothed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It gives the girl an innocence a purity if you will <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul has been hurt so many times <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That he hides in his clothes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is an intensely erotic and bleak film <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can almost taste the claustrophobia <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I watched it for the first time <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I almost felt grubby a voyeur <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also cried quietly in the dark <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will I experience the same emotions Josie<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is hard to say as I am English <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas you are French <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might recognise nuances <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That I have missed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it playing at a local cinema <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a season of French movies <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the seventies <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That sounds fun <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you going with Julie J <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes but sometimes on my own <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wish I was in Paris <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wish you were in Paris as I miss you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you still acting <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At times but I should take it more seriously <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does anyone understand his poetry <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I sometimes visit his website <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is a stunning poet <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But do not tell him I told you so <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Promise <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope to be in Paris in the late summer period <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then you will stay with me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That would be lovely <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will ask him but he does so chop and change<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marie Popol I am being such a dreadful friend but I must go <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My mother is going to ring me shortly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been so nice chatting to you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been my pleasure also <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until
