Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sam <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long time no see <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For me it was <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long time too much sea <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How are you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mending <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My nose injury was more serious than I thought <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You were hit by a boon <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was hit by my own stupidity <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was like standing on a railway line <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And wondering why a train hits you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a lot of blood <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I guessed that my nose was broken <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It did not stop bleeding <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alarm Bells <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to my crew <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was serious but not serious <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were at sea<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A million miles from nowhere <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long story <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Richard contacted me straight away <\/p>\n\n\n\n
New York New York <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Serious damage done <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fragments if you get my drift <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was the operation successful <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very but no more sunsets for a while <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you back in Richmond <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Virginia<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No<\/p>\n\n\n\n
England <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It comes with a floating pub <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is Sephine looking after you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very much <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although face sitting is out <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have some news <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All ears <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie is engaged <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who is the poor sod<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let me get this right <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your engagement to Sephine was noted in the Times <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My mother put it there I believe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typical Mummy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you saying that Josie is engaged to Sephine as well as you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes what is wrong with that <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing I suppose but others might not see it that way <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuck them <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sephine and Josie go back a long way <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie seduced her when it was not encouraged <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have been lovers ever since <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is why Josie played cupid <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As she knew that we would end <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So she encouraged Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was not hard <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Sephine had loved me for years <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was just so fucking blind <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was uncomfortable with the dynamic <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was all about me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We let things drift <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sephine and Josie were still lovers <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I was in a relationship with Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is part of the reason we decided to sail <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were you running away <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Far from it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were other reasons which I have discussed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The voyage soon cleared our heads <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The simplicity of the sea <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were not doing anything wrong in Gods eyes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Far from it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
God is Love <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I agree <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I loved Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had been in love with my sister for nearly twenty years<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was wrong with that <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
God is Love <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Josie had suffered as in theory she had lost me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had agreed to breathe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might be aware that Josie had a breakdown of sorts <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had to chase her around Europe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She really lost touch with reality<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was obvious that we were joined at the hip <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beautiful thing about Sephine is her calm manner <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that hides so much <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She could have snatched me away from Josie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though she was still fucking my sister <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But she did not see things like that <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was everything she ever wanted in a man <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I was not her possession as she is not my possession <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was asked about Josie’s relationship with Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was never on my radar as I considered it normal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can love more than person and whilst homosexuality is appalling and corrupt in men it is the opposite in women <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are different creatures <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is so fucking obvious <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who thought up the idea <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a joint idea <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the germ originated with me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was engaged to Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So why could Josie not be engaged to Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a triangle <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strange thing was that we had all been going in the same direction <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie and Sephine became engaged whilst at sea <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And this is where that things turned a little strange as the very next day I was injured by the boon <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you saying what I think you are saying <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a way <\/p>\n\n\n\n
God is Love but God never forgives <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who knows <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you know I lost my father at sea <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It achieved its aim but it was more bloody that daddy had envisaged <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It haunted him for the rest of his life <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He felt guilty and was not at peace with his God <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you agree with him <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes I would have done it myself <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that is another story <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He felt that God was angry with him <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following year he was lost at sea <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mummy and I were of the same opinion<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So are you saying that your accident <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would not presume to think that way <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But was it just the mathematics of coincidence <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who knows <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I did was what I considered right <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is all about love and belonging <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If God is cross with me then my father drew the short straw <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is that Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is what <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There appears to be a Susan poem on the loose <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it one of yours <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am going to spank her arse <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the problems <\/p>\n\n\n\n
About writing about women <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is that they are so unpredictable <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shall I clap my hands <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you would and tell the silly girl <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That I own the bookshop <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Susan waited for the returning crews \n\nAnd greeted them in a joyful manner \n\nWhenever they visited her bookshop\n\nThey frequently brought exotic gifts \n\nSorry about that a poem has escaped \n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"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 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"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=29406"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29417,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29406\/revisions\/29417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
