Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Philadelphia!"
.....As an ELITE member of folks, refused INGRESSO (not admitted/deported) into the United (sic) States of America (USA?), I bond with Amy Winehouse, Cat Stevens, Charlie Chaplin, Lello and his Italiano family, thousands of other good folks and dedicate this sonnet to GRAHAM NASH, the composer of "Immigration Man."
"Philadelphia."
WHY can't I go to Philadelphia!? Why can't I enjoy your eyes? Is it because I'm black, a social "Commie-dude", some kid the USA despise? Some "funky-chicken"? Not DEEP-FRIED? -And U can't hang me from some bad fruit tree? YO shoot me/catch-can: free and clean? -Cos ol' Philly can get along just fine without me?
(Singing: A New Yorker boy! EATS at Reuben's!!!)
WHY can't I go to Philadelphia? TOOOO da Freedom Hall? Are the Padres of FREEDOM re-arranging their wigs...and/or turning in their graves? And, "SAY!? Have U seen, by dawn's early light? And the FAMILY of MAN; how proudly WE hail...?" Tell me! Tell me! Brother's of Man; why can I not go to Philadelphia...any given Sunday... and sit in the sun?
