Josie’s Post


It is Bank Holiday Monday

Joe is seeing friends in Windsor

He asked me if I wanted to come

But I just wanted to bum around Richmond

And then bum around the house afterwards

As many of you know I act

Mainly on the stage

I enjoy acting very much

But I am not sure if I am an actress

Or a fraud a dilettante adrift in life

Make no mistake

I am a happy girl

But I feel I want more

Not emotionally

As my cup is overflowing

Joe has his pen

Writing comes naturally to him

But although I write to a standard

I feel that I do not share his vision

I can paint well but do I have the eye

In certain ways I want to hurt Joe

As I feel a jealousy

Yet I am not a jealous person

Which confuses me

I am much calmer than Joe

Who tends to pick arguments

With those who disagree with him

I have Mummy’s temperament

Which I am proud to share

But Josie does get angry

Normally with Joe

And we have awful fights

Earlier today I found out that a man

Had won the best actress at Cannes

This upset me as it insulted women

I am not a feminist but I believe in female equality

I get to meet many hardworking girls

In the acting profession

Who just want to act

But they just fade

It is hard enough without these invasions

An actress is an actress is an actress

An actress is a woman

And the news from Cannes is very disturbing

It makes me feel grubby and undervalued

There are only two genders

Two and Two never make Five as Joe says

In certain ways I feel that women are being betrayed

Yes there is a degree of equality

But a decay is beginning to erode

Any gains that we have achieved

I have tears of frustration in my eyes

It has made me so so angry

So I decided to take it out on Joe

I just want to be a bitch

I sent him a message to spoil his day

As he was with his Windsor Set

I could imagine him sitting by the river

Discussing everything and nothing

He would be the centre of attraction

Poets seem to attract these people

And although Joe is very modest

He does enjoy these casual gatherings

Joe has read my message and will be angry

As he has very strong views on this subject

He values women very highly

I have spoilt his day

What a cunt I am

As he did nothing to me

I will stop posting now

As you will be sick of me by now

How right you are

I am not the gentle beautiful Josie

Ignore me until I mature
