We have been trapped<\/p>\n
In this elevator for six hours<\/p>\n
Life is black and white<\/p>\n
Our presumed rescuers<\/p>\n
Have warned us about this<\/p>\n
Angela is telling us<\/p>\n
About her many relationships<\/p>\n
In graphic detail<\/p>\n
My eyes are getting heavy<\/p>\n
But when I close them<\/p>\n
Her story becomes more graphic<\/p>\n
I once slept with a man I confessed<\/p>\n
Along with his girlfriend<\/p>\n
We were all naked<\/p>\n
But it was not sexual<\/p>\n
Just common sense<\/p>\n
As our clothes were wet<\/p>\n
This is the only time<\/p>\n
I have shared a bed<\/p>\n
With anyone else<\/p>\n
I was once warned<\/p>\n
Not to camp in the rain<\/p>\n
As no matter the precautions<\/p>\n
You will get wet<\/p>\n
And catch a chill<\/p>\n
Which will make<\/p>\n
You feel wretched<\/p>\n
I once saw Pele play<\/p>\n
Announces Miguel<\/p>\n
Who had not spoken before<\/p>\n
What people do not see<\/p>\n
Is the defensive shift<\/p>\n
That he puts in<\/p>\n
He was the complete footballer<\/p>\n
A certain degree of colour<\/p>\n
Is returning to our lives<\/p>\n
I can see the colour<\/p>\n
Of the Brazilian shirts<\/p>\n
But overall<\/p>\n
Black and white persists<\/p>\n
We will be rescued soon<\/p>\n
But the process is tricky<\/p>\n
As there is a real danger<\/p>\n
That the elevator will plunge<\/p>\n
Twenty-eight floors<\/p>\n
And we will be crushed<\/p>\n
Which is a sobering thought<\/p>\n
Juan tells us<\/p>\n
That his apartment<\/p>\n
Is opposite the<\/p>\n
Basillica de la Sagrada Familia<\/em><\/p>\n In Barcelona<\/p>\n Which pleases him<\/p>\n As he loves God<\/p>\n And architecture equally<\/p>\n It is getting very hot<\/p>\n In the elevator<\/p>\n As the air conditioning has failed<\/p>\n I was not aware that elevators<\/p>\n Had air conditioning<\/p>\n Paz tells us that she feels faint<\/p>\n So I lend her my vest<\/p>\n To keep her cool<\/p>\n I am now wearing<\/p>\n My Elvis shirt<\/p>\n Which I stole<\/p>\n From my sister<\/p>\n The lights fail<\/p>\n And the emergency lights<\/p>\n Kick in<\/p>\n I find this subdued lighting<\/p>\n Quite relaxing<\/p>\n Cold drinks and food<\/p>\n Have been lowered<\/p>\n Through the escape hatch<\/p>\n I enquire of its use<\/p>\n And am told<\/p>\n It is too risky<\/p>\n They are no grey areas<\/p>\n Only black and white<\/p>\n Angela<\/p>\n Who has been quiet<\/p>\n Tells us all<\/p>\n That she studies<\/p>\n Butterflies<\/p>\n In her spare time<\/p>\n As it takes<\/p>\n Her mind off of<\/p>\n Her failed relationships<\/p>\n I tell her that if<\/p>\n We escape alive<\/p>\n That I will marry her<\/p>\n She accepts on the spot<\/p>\n Miguel states<\/p>\n That he is a priest<\/p>\n And will be happy to marry us<\/p>\n Twenty-eight floors up<\/p>\n It is a beautiful ceremony<\/p>\n And we begin to plan<\/p>\n Our honeymoon<\/p>\n In a safe and<\/p>\n Colourful place<\/p>\n Near the sea<\/p>\n Angela whispers to me<\/p>\n That she is wearing<\/p>\n Her red bikini<\/p>\n Under her red dress<\/p>\n As she wants to<\/p>\n Be prepared<\/p>\n At a moments notice<\/p>\n For her honeymoon<\/p>\n Should she get married<\/p>\n In an elevator<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n to be continued<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have been trapped In this elevator for six hours Life is black and white Our presumed rescuers Have warned us about this Angela is telling us About her many relationships In graphic detail My eyes are getting heavy But when I close them Her story becomes more graphic I once slept with a man […]<\/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\/7224"}],"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=7224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7224\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
