Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/Milano-Froid: No. 30: Sibling Rivalry!...

Our Man in Europe/davedelacroix/Milano-Froid; No. 30:  Sibling Rivalry...

(Dedicato: GIADA)


Is it UNDERSTOOD that we hate change? And...is it understood, along with Fate, with resentful smile-that courts the wiles, of thoughts conceived, genetic yesterday?

Is it understood that U and I will ALWAYS harmonize on roads that lead to "Loch Lomand"? -with twilight or a morning dew, as a pictorial; whilst a  Bandoleer (like ME, like U?) sings his/her song, and then in WISDOM -is gone?
Is it understood why we disperse to DIVERGE.. in an attempt to MURDER our diversity?

I hate walkin';  lord KNOWS, I've hiked many'a mile? ...since SUZI-BABE  (or was her name Lucy?) broke my drunken heart?... But TODAY? -there's:  "NO flies on ME mate!", no SHARKS in the acqua-lagoon? -Money's tight, but I sleep at night: No howling at the MOON!?

(We interrupt this stream/RIVER of consciousness with the following message:)

"It's OFFICIAL. I lost my Punk-rock SHADES. I lost my HILLBILLY straw hat!  (I'm devastated!?)  And? To BOOTY!?... My FLY SWAT is gone missing....IN SUMMER!!!!!???

Yup. Metaphorically speaking?  -it's CHEAPER to shop

 at the Five & Dime.

Love me  when I'm RICH?

"they" can certainly afford...
 -to bail out ME!?

"Smoker-Girl?" Come sit by my side
 U'd better fasten your seat-belt

Our Man in Europe/davedelacroix/Milano-Froids/No. 26:  "Encore"...


CATCH DAT window, scratch DAT curtain
give your LIFE an extra SPIEL?
Some ol' guy, up in the sky?
-knows exactly how U feel?

-kiss the ENCORE
of your moment,
like an ever changing Wind?
Then call me:
NIGHT LINE
and sing your song, again?

Is it August? Is it July? DO (or can?)
U even care?
And what became of
your-first-great-Love?
-except an empty stare? -that
MIRRORS
your tomorrows
in reflections of your past?
-catch that window to your Soul?

And sing your song again...?

Old SINS cast long shadows,
new Hearts
cast their OWN chimes; the
RAGAZZI roars:
"SO DO IT AGAIN!", or smile,
or grin, again?
-It's the ONLY
card ya gotta play;
some FOOL designed it so?

Catch DAT window, draw the curtain,
give the LIFE U have
an extra SPIEL!;
whilst some ol' guy,
UP in the the sky;
knows exactly how U feel...?

(dedicato: Fiona)

He wined  (maybe WHINNED, too!) and DINED ya; ya got

-he could not miss.
Is it your future? The past DON'T last (it haunts!)
Wotcha gonna-do
with those Leopard Skin shoes?

Monte-Cristo? Monte-Carlo? -or, whatever his name?
NO lasting affair, as fleeting as FAME.
He sunk his "tube" into your "well, left EARLY
the next morning, feeling "righteous"; U, feeling like HELL
on one of those Friday nights
or Saturday Blues; wotcha gonna-do
with those Leopard skin shoes?

It's ONLY Tomorrow. TODAY don't care. If U'are my SISTA?
ya got a BROTHER there; in this skeletal dance we grow
THICK SKIN
and give a "Finger!" to the Devil
and the hell he's in.
So put on that make-up! Put on your cool gown!
Put on your dancing shoes!
'cos we're going to Town!!

And those Leopard Skin shoes?... Can go sing the Blues.

"SHE got ALL I need. SHE got sum wild, wild CAT;
this side of Hawaii (Ukulele, too!)
She sings U to slumber or an afternoon DOZE?
Jesus Christie, have mercy, when she DISROBES?

So come along MARIA, my turtle-dove;
to JERUSALEM first
and then, to love.

BE-WITCHED anxiety, OUT of control?
This Gal drives a LAMBRETTA (scooter-thingy),
runs pedestrians down.
KOKA-LOLA
will haunt U ALL your days,
on the wrong side of Palestine
whose heart's on a scale?

But come along, Maria! My sweet
turtle-dove?
To Jerusalem, first
and then, and then?
-to Love.

"Sheffield Wednesday"

"Don't cry for ME, Sheffield Wednesday?
The truth is I really, really DID try
to score DAT winning goal?

girlfriend: "NO SEX till Tuesday!", but (but?)
ALZHEIMER'S got me on ma'knees?

Don't cry for ME, Sheffield Wednesday?
I shaved off my "side-burns" OFF-SIDE;
I wanted World Peace,
I wanted TRANQUILITY
and, maybe invite BOB DYLAN
over for tea?

Don't cry for me...in Margarita?
No YORKSHIRE MAN
(worth his Salt?)

So? FISH & CHIPS

-BLOW OFF the Electric bill,
drink Guinness, whisky
and play guitar all night?
...Pray, pray, pray?
Don't cry for me, Sheffield Wednesday.

Our Man in Europe/davedelacroix/Milano-Froid, No. 22:  SARDINES.


(New POEM from BLIND BILL who lives near an
ALL GIRLS COLLEGE, just South of Austin, TEXAS
. .. .It's called,"Sardines";
published, with kind  permission:)


"Sardines."


DO SARDINES actually come
from SARDINIA?
Is it true?

HOW COME they (the Sardinia's?)
got the "franchise"? Were questions
ASKED? Did they consult
me or U?
(to continue this line of thought?)

WERE questions asked in CONGRESS?
The (lol) HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT?
-were there secret  tape
recording? -did the N.S.A. KNEW!?

(how could they? They only have ONE official
cell-phone/the other 5.000
 are for personnel use
...which they constantly monitor!)

So; once AGAIN, I ask
DO SARDINES actually "Sardine?"
and is ANYONE actually monitoring
their long distance phone calls?
...And...IF NOT!? -Why?

(Bill?...I'm falling asleep....)

but TO YOU

OLE! OLE!
We sing: "Vaya con Dios!"

Don't GO Flamenco,
MATADOR;
the bull in the ring?
-is U.
