Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Lonely Panini."


"..LONELY PANINI."


SHE
sittin' lonesome?
SHE
sitting "Frazzante!"
-looks older than her years?

HE
sitting-"CAFE GRECO",
eternal-ROMA; and I ponder
what makes it so?

...HE
doesn't drink;
just a "caffe" and
a lonely Panini?

SHE
hangs her clothes
-washed to dry?
HE
he goes on home/"a casa"
-and lies to his wife?

SHE
will never again
speak of the Cavalier;
the Cavalier broods at home,
and anxiously paces...

SHE
too, paces?
-alone in her room.
Then tears out her hair
in lonesome Trastevere...
And later
to "nibble"
on yesterday's "Panini."

Days later?
HE
writes a song; his "Canzone"
FAMOUS!!!
...SHE
will hear it
on a Juke-box in a Cafe-
Corso-Vittorio-E.:

Canzone: ""Lonely Panini."
Canzone;: "Lonely Panini."

....NINE months later;
SHE
gives birth to a boy-child.
The child  is Christened, "Panini."

HE
will never know
his son, his boy?
And?
SHE
left with a cold heart
only a Madre can know?...

.......... (Aspeto, Amici/readers?)

...SHE
sittin' lonesome?
SHE
sitting "Frazzente!"
-looks older than her years?

HE
sitting, "Cafe Greco",
-eternale ROMA;
And I ponder, yet conceive...
just what makes it so...
