Three drunks were stretched out on the city beach<\/p>\n
The day was done but nobody had bothered to tell the sun<\/p>\n
Whose glare was still light tight and intense<\/p>\n
Mac who was the youngest of the three men<\/p>\n
Was staring at the sun through his Buddy Holly glasses<\/p>\n
Which had been given to him by a Canadian tourist in exchange for a kiss<\/p>\n
The other two drunks called Phil and Bhil had fallen asleep<\/p>\n
As were curled up like babies in the shadows of the lifeguard tower<\/p>\n
The sun had begun to hurt Mac’s eyes so he started to watch the passing joggers<\/p>\n
Who all looked the same or so he thought as he finished his bottle of lime gin<\/p>\n
Buddy Holly had not been bathed in sunlight on the night that he died<\/em><\/p>\n For a moment Mac felt that he was the luckiest man in the world<\/p>\n He removed his glasses and threw them into the broken sand<\/p>\n With the hope that he would be soon become quite blind<\/p>\n And would not have to face another night on this his dour and desolate beach<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Three drunks were stretched out on the city beach The day was done but nobody had bothered to tell the sun Whose glare was still light tight and intense Mac who was the youngest of the three men Was staring at the sun through his Buddy Holly glasses Which had been given to him by […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6333"}],"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=6333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6333\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
