OUR MAN in EUROPE/dave delacroix/Take 19: Come-Uppence!



Take 19:  Come-Uppence!

(for folks who ARE loyally following this book/blog: a Christmas carol...)

Artemis Blagovich-Smith (my own personal Stalker) having recently (see earlier blog-posts) married the "belladonna" of Piacenza,  the beautiful (bust-wise: full 10 score) Lenore...just got back from his 2 week honeymoon SPENT, I am informed, at his new "mother-in-law's" shanty house on the "via Roma", somewhere near the railway station...and is full of banter...and finds ME busking for "small change" on the  Corso Vittorio Emmanuelle II, the town's main pedestrian drag.

I try to get rid of him as the Civic Code here (in Piacenza) only allows for 30 minutes of playing "Good Golly Miss Molly!" so as not to piss off the shop keepers, residents and the tenants who inhabit the upper "pianos" (levels) of every business hereabouts.

However. All is in vain. And he?  (Artemis Blagovich-Smith) rails me with his usual grotesque & pornographic diatribe...regarding his wedding night nuptials...which include the repetitive expression of "double penetration"  (apparently his "Best Man" shared the "love nest") and again;  apparently, his ONLY romantic "panting" - to belladonna Lenore - consisted of: "Gimme some Dopamine, Baby!"

(Again) HOWEVER! -I glean from his jabber that this particular "Union of Love"  might be "On The Rocks!" -to quote old Poet-Bro, Sebastian Barker.

Il Belladonna Lenore (and Artemis's "Best Man") having buzzed off together to Turin (Torino); "To go see the Shroud?"...

Anyways; I'm already giving up on making a dime, busking on the Corso Vittorio Emanuele II. It's cold and business is "lento". ( Molasses, baby!)  So wishing Artemis "Buono fortuna!" I make to skip off to the Circolo Recreativo (my private drinking club) to go get a "buzz" and chuckle the night away.

"I am the most BEAUTIFUL Man in the World, Dave!" -he hollers after me.

"You bet!" (Johnny Depp!) I laugh back.

Like  a "Magnificent Amberson", Artemis Blagovich-Smith looks like he finally got his "come-uppence"...and? -quite naturally, at such a point in people's lives;
there is no-one around to care.
