Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "RE-morse."


Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/"RE-morse."


S.O.S. (backwards) is....


....She went DOWN to F.L.A. (Florida) USA; she went DOWN there to St. Augustine (named after a Saint) too? Then she hit "Alligator Alley", East Coast, Gulf of Mexico,  Daytona, driving my Pontiac, and blew....?

Some SAY, she was too good for me; some say; right about the other side: some "humdinger", some "Parraquito", some GAL from the other side; Tracks, Class, Yankee City? -Nobody can decide? But she BLEW, no remorse.

SHE DIED, maybe, 10 years later? How'd I know? It came to me in a Dream? Her once succulent lips....a nighttime apparition....offered me a withered kiss? Her once bright eyes, appalled!...

She'd got strung out and hung out up by Oregon way; a whore for some Captain boat Fisherman who beat her till she paid, then sent her Spirit back to me, now where I live down on the Florida Keys.

Dont worry. It aint SPOOKY. We got a Hurricane coming: Gonna beat the BEAT out of the BEAST; upside, which ways, I got my Love's last kiss.

(Hurricane kicking in. We're all in a School Gymnasium. Moms, Pops. Kids working the Radio Comm. "Dave!!!" 18 year old Radio CZAR: "S.O.S!?"
"Wha?"
"S.O.S! How'd I dot it!?"
(Jeeze. I gotta pain in my chest:) "Backwards or forwards, Honey. It's all the same to me...?"

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/"To BE or NOT to BE?"


Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "To BE or NOT to BE?"


...Sad ASPIC of Man's insatiable creed, undulating between dark & light: chasing Sally down the Alley or casting brother on brother into an iron grid of WAR? Unsolved, Universally UN-relinquished, no fear nor favour, yet dissolved into that  Soul's kernel of in-SENSE-ity, a HU-MANIC insanity?....In the MUD, the Soldier? Upon the sea; a cold death? In the Air, tumbling down in flesh of flames? And such aspic-dynamic, ordained by Man for Man? WHO HERALDS this mortal divinity? At their eleventh hour? A parting regret? We sacrifice the FEW for the many, or the MANY for the few? Too late - JESUS!!! -  an admission in a recurring sad Chapter of History?
TO BE OR NOT TO BE? To UN-cleanse TIME'S bloody past; to wipe away a mother's tears, to tell a child just where her daddy's body lies, and for why... under some forlorn, sunny sky?
And JUST WHO will kill these MONSTERS of our despair? And forfeit their life in the doing?

Sad aspic of  Man's insatiable creed, a "dominata", ancient, under WRATH, prevailing,  where Intelligence bleeds?... U can HONESTLY shoot me down, but don't expect me, blinded by your EVIL, expect me to BE as YOU see Me deciding to be... or not to be?

Our Man in Europe/dave Delacroix/ "The Matador"...


(dedicato: For SPAIN y Cesare....)


(SWEATING, DUST, SAND:) "Afficion?" You!? BLOODY TOURIST?...U keep it! I'm fighting for my Life. El Toro thinks he's got my Number? He Does! But I STILL got my Life. I got my Love, my OWN "Afficion", my Girl? My Girl will stand by me, Rise or Fall: 2 hours ago in the billowing drapes of a Barcelona breeze, wrapped in the taffeta, the Satin of Consuela?
"I don't think U love me!", - Consuela.
"Santa-Maria, Consuela! But I DO!?"-I plea?
"When U are NOT in the Bull Ring," she remonstrates, "U never send me flowers OR send me a Palomino!"
"I sent U a PRE-paid Taxi!"
"Not the same!"
"I was OUT of Time!" I insist, "I had to DRESS for the Bullfight, then the famous JUAN-Rodriguez Toreador brothers (triplets)  showed up... "backstage.... Shots of Rioja, Portuguese Vin ho Verde, adjustments to my Costume....?"
"I understand!"
"U Understand?"
"Well, I DON'T understand.!!!"
"Can we TALK about this after I KILL this Bull? Apparently, he's OLD STOCK, carries the ghosts of  his forebears; bold, bloodied, deceitful, a vindictive KILLER; brave, cool, yet without mercy and no-one's quite sure just what he will do?"
"If U don't LOVE ME...U will fight El Toro!"
"If I "DON-T love U!....."
(That was 2 hours ago)

"OLE!, OLE! OLE!" I'm fighting for my Life.! El Toro THINKS he's got my Number...And he does; but I'm thinking - Consuela not despondent? - I might just have his Life.....!?

"OLE! OLE! OLE!"
There a GASH in my thigh...which I cover with my cloak; and again, this majestic El Toro paws the sand, intent on my destruction, the arena is hushed! A dance of Death? A Dance Macabre?

An hour later, bloodied and soiled, the Picadors dudes lay me on a nearby hotel bed. I'm still clinging to the El Toro "death blow" stiletto; no-one can pries it from my hand?

Consuela, in all her satin, taffeta, silks, lavender, rose water perfume....arrives, panting, breathless, from the combat she has  presumably witnessed: "My darling, mi amore, my love! U KILLED El Toro for ME!"
But that was AT LEAST 60 minutes ago? So it was THEN, without compunction, with the Stiletto still clenched in my grip, I effortlessly stabbed my beloved through the heart and the grand murder  of El Toro somehow, then  felt clean...."OLE!!!"

And it was TOUGH trying to do the right thing after THAT; the Torredor Twins (Triplets) showed up, got me out of there, somebody suggested Consuela was Suicidal, we all went down to DOS EQUIS INC., blew our paychecks and now - guess? - back in Catalonia. Still wounded. SWEATING, DUST, BLOOD and this NEW El Toro thinks he's got my Number, pawing the sand...and giving me the eye..... "OLE!!!!"...But THIS time....

Our Ladies of Albania, our ladies of Greece, our ladies of Serbia, Croatia, Italy, or some Dalmatian Outpost; meantime, FRENCH, ENGLISH, GERMAN, POLISH, RUSSIAN, why is it that U Albanians...feel so IMPORTANT, to fandango a Bullfight....with NO Matador....or SCRATCH YOUR ONE LONE TESTICLE and start the NEXT World War...?  A cultural Cerebral retardation?  Some beaten kid FROM age, 1 TO 4?.....(O sole Mio) Albania....SEND ME A POSTCARD!.....Have u no idea what your cerebral retention SPAWNED!!!!!!!!!?.... I see your Cafes and Bars in Italy and PUKE on your Sandals for the Millions DEAD. (WORLD WAR 1), so many brave lads from England and GAUL? Have U NO SHAME!? ... Whilst U "little gangs" PUKE on Non-Albanian Culture? ...in your little Cafes, ALL MALE? Do U "HOXA" your Girls? Your WIVES? What HELL most they endure with your CEREBRAL RETARDATION? (Muslim? Jew? WEIRD PROTESTANT without a SHOE/No Compass!?) And then...I think of my INTELLIGET Albanian friends in ROME: at Mickey's Miscelannia Cafe, Bar, Trattoria behind the ROTUNDA: Micky, Romeo, the UP-wardly Mobile Ragazzi; the COOL Cats, the GO-Getters! Albania Nipote, Fratelli! And then, there is YOU. Yes; YOU.... Collective. In a Albanian Bar, some "redneck crew", somehow transplanted...in Italy, the land of INSPIRATION....

Our Ladies in the Yorkshire Meadows, after ALL WARS, mostly wearing White, dressing Wounds, sowing arms, legs, Hearts and Souls TOGETHER and trying to sends these Kids back Home? To ALBANIA? Mostly, just to where they might belong? And RECEPTION? Even "our" English Boys, on re-repatriation, mostly got a 4 week pay cheque, good advice: "Fuck off and die Young?" -Family, or NO family, took 'em in their fold? -Unlike the Albanian CULTURE of Discontent, Male Orientated, fermenting, psycho-pyramid scheme of UN-dependency, potentially,  to upset or worry the balance of Europe's World Peace and - TO THIS DAY - persist in its UN-Freudian discontent of  a portrayal of Skinhead-Soccer Hooliganism and/or a Coconut without an Island to propagate  in any way which way but without distinction?....which I know, from your POETS.....will UN-RAVEL itself?...into more Spaghetti, Gnocchi finance or the first Ernest Hemmingway who lands upon your "Gruel" psychological shore, falls in love with "Aga", contracts the "French desease" and UN-psychological disapears...a bunch of UN-paid bills resulting?

WHO writes this stuff?

(Yet more?)


Our Ladies in the Yorkshire Dales, over-saw, RULED the ROOST of the FIT/Able-bodied or WOUNDED Yorkshire Veterans respected them as EQUALS: perhaps,  whilst Albania's GENDER NAZIS, /Almost MUSLIM/ should bend a KNEE to an enlightened CULTURE? (Let the Ladies ride the horse whilst THEY carry the Beer?) English Doctors and Nurses patched 'em UP!

(Who writes this stuff?)


Our Ladies in Yorkshire, Doctors, Nurses, efficient, under-paid, under-staffed, since the 1914-18 Great War, since a Gal called Florence Nightingale, NAMELESS (So Many!) young Ladies, UN-sung HEROES, patching up the dying, wounded, your Love ones, your ENEMIES loved one; WHEN....WALK AWAY----Please LEAVE, PLEASE DISAPEAR or go FAR away, FOR YOUR LOVES' SOUL: your Albanian Cafe/Bar.....Go away! Head into your DARK ETERNITY!!!----or Say "hello" to the World and walk outside into the Great Divide....



....THERAPY: And SO it, futilely, perhaps NOT goes.....:though UN-futilely, we correspond and reach OUT for a greater World.....OUR BRILLIANT CAREER.

Doc Strangelove, U kiss what U kiss, therefore: SHAZZAM!  Your invention? Doctor Strangelove? I'm OK with that. Me & Marylou figured it out? . But let's talk about your "involuntarily" FASCIST salute; and a piccolini "make-over", let's lose those leather pants....Not a proposition with the HUMAN RACE, so GO to the bathroom but if U don't wash your Dick no-one ever again will be baptized "William" in uteri in a global holocaust ERASER? (U get that?)  Doctor Strangelove, are U da dude whose dues I've been paying TAXES for? Doctor Strangelove? it's not YOU I want to hang from a tree, but the CRETINS, presently running INTO THE SHADOWS:  from the "Ministries", "Committees", "State Departments" (ripe for tomorrows Guillotine!) that enabled thee.... And NEW GENERATIONS will howl for their BLOOD!!!
ANYHOW!? Doctor Strangelove! What are we going to do with U?... A BIGGER DICK and a BOMB? (Pause for Thought.)

Our Man in Europe/ dave delacroix/ "The Smile."


(dedicato: Angela Salvedi, Countessa Ukraine, Italiano Cultural Ambassador)


WISH U WERE "now", wish U were here, wish I was UP in that SOUP (that Borscht); and  wish U...
Wish WE still "Sittin' on da Dock of the Bay..." as Time marches on? A Minestrone!  Wishing I'd done U wrong! Wishing U had killed my heart, but WE never put a foot wrong as ONLY U and I know?
Wish the GODS had planned it, like FABERGE EGGS, a "conception" outside of pedestrian interpretation, and latent Aspirants who desired your  body but NOT your Soul; And AS for those FABERGE EGGS? Like LOVE! STOLEN! A lost treasure: I keep them for U in an AMBER ROOM, my secret heart... where I rejoice in remembrance of your Smile..... UN-STOLEN....And wish U were here; now? Now! Your Smile. And forever.

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "U.X.B.".....(Unexploded Bomb)


(dedicato: Dave Wood: Yorkshire-man.)


No body is MISSING,  the GREAT WAR or World WAR 2? And No-one's kissin IN THE BLITZ,  that can't get along without U, some folks say? The UNKNOWN SOLDIER, some of us survived, leastways in Spirit?
No-one LOVES U; don't mean a thing; there's no FLAK (1940.England), SPITFIRES over head?-gonna share my beer and  bread, most People do?  ...There's just  that righteous COOL plus family & Survival, that "collective Soul"... in the UNDERGROUND/Subway: "The Battle of Britain"...?

No body's LOST, nobody UN-found, no body RE-discovered, no-body, UN-constantly ADOPTED  where I didn't see the BEAUTY in their eyes,, Victim or Killer?  Except  - Who cries for the Angels!? - for the UN-exploded BOMB the U.X.B....in my back yard?

Nobody, a good game of RUGBY - some kicked me in the crutch, nobody, I kicked and yellin', made a "Balloo!"; Nobody didn't  fail to give me a "Fair-Play"....in AMERICA.? Or Yorkshire, too?

Honour in the Ruins? Poetry amongst Bombs? In a World of Propaganda? What do U become? JAM TARTS! STARCH!... Moms, Grand-MUMS run a round like HEADLESS CHICKENS trying to  "make sense" of MANS INSANITY.....and feed the kids whilst the FASCISTS (theirs and OURS) decide who collects our TAXES?....

Whilst WE...and the U.X.B. sometimes explode?...
