Blue Margate Bleak \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Turner rests safely in his gallery<\/p>\n
Margate is going about its daily business<\/p>\n
The skies are darkening<\/p>\n
Christmas is not far away<\/p>\n
Only the dedicated are using the beach<\/p>\n
There is no light today<\/p>\n
It is hidden behind the autumn curtains<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Conversation Overheard at Margate Railway Station <\/b><\/p>\n
You were there when I fucked your missus <\/i><\/p>\n
I saw you sitting there wanking over us you dirty sod <\/i><\/p>\n
Fuck off you never made it through the door<\/i><\/p>\n
I tell you she was wet and juicy your missus <\/i><\/p>\n
Gagging for it <\/i><\/p>\n
You\u2019re telling porkies even a fucking orange would not get juicy over you <\/i><\/p>\n
Laughter <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
How many stations? <\/i><\/p>\n
Two<\/i><\/p>\n
It were three when I last asked <\/i><\/p>\n
You’re counting this station you cunt <\/i><\/p>\n
The Train Arrived on Time <\/b><\/p>\n
Margate Sighed with Relief <\/b><\/p>\n
Do they visit the town often? <\/i><\/p>\n
Often enough they trail around the pubs and cause trouble<\/i><\/p>\n
Sometimes the police move them on <\/i><\/p>\n
Sometimes they do not <\/i><\/p>\n
Do they pay their fares? <\/i><\/p>\n
I doubt it \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
Why waste good drinks money on fares <\/i><\/p>\n
Did you notice the girl wearing the grubby parka? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes she seemed to be stoned out of her mind <\/i><\/p>\n
She was<\/i><\/p>\n
The stupid girl takes anything she can lay her hands on <\/i><\/p>\n
She will not make it to twenty-five <\/i><\/p>\n
What’s your point?<\/i><\/p>\n
She was the daughter of the mouthy skinhead <\/i><\/p>\n
Really <\/i><\/p>\n
Poor bitch did not stand a chance <\/i><\/p>\n
I can remember her waiting here at the station for hours on end when she was little whilst he boozed his benefit away <\/i><\/p>\n
Where was her mother?<\/em><\/p>\n Long gone<\/em><\/p>\n Do you think their situation will improve?<\/i><\/p>\n No <\/i><\/p>\n Has anybody ever tried to help them?<\/i><\/p>\n A few do-gooders<\/i><\/p>\n Is there anything Margate could do for them?<\/i><\/p>\n I doubt it<\/i><\/p>\n Social workers?<\/em><\/p>\n Not interested<\/em><\/p>\n They appear doomed <\/em><\/p>\n I think they are<\/em><\/p>\n Ask the sea it has seen it all before <\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Blue Margate Bleak \u00a0 Turner rests safely in his gallery Margate is going about its daily business The skies are darkening Christmas is not far away Only the dedicated are using the beach There is no light today It is hidden behind the autumn curtains Conversation Overheard at Margate Railway Station You were there […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2684"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2684\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
