Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "...My favorite Year."


(Dedicato:  Carol Aniello)


In my favorite year
there was You.
And good friends.
No-one stabbed me
in the back, and
shadows of yester-year
must'a took a vacation
(they didn't come back!);
and there was You.

In my favorite year
nobody died, no grief,
kids being born
Vino on tap!
And there were moments
like this,
a kiss
in synchronicity.

In my favorite year
we ALL broke even.
No war, neither peace
but a THING, desirous
of all we mean
to each other? Like
a call of the wild!
And voices!
Voices raised!!!
Singing a song of hope?
And, yes: There was always You;
in my favorite year...

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Drink to me always..."


In Winters cold, drink, Usurp, with eyes? I am yours.
In Winters cold? No despair, Kid! Ah's got a' Pontiac, gassed UP
and we've a long way to go?
In Winter's cold we'll kiss the fender of a new horizon; MAKE IT SO,
M-Fucker, a'la Hollywood space vomit! -the TV in the Lonesome Rhetoric MOTEL?
It's ONLY the despair of WAITING to see you drink to me with your eyes? And yet, a flicker,
UN-real, divines?
In Winters cold? No! No! No! Don't let me go? And I will BE, fine, like a New Mexico-
Arizona desert highway in some distant dawn?
In Winters cold, my sweet; USURP, and drink to ME...only....with those tiger eyes, for assuredly
I will not fail.

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Every which way..."


...DON'T gotta JOB? No big love?
 No INDOLENCE -come to push and shove?
 Don't got no Time; Time's ALL ya got!
 Every which way; every which way?

Don't got no KIDS? No got a wife?
Don't get no mail, no Smart phone -No LIFE!
Don't got no NEED, just how you please?
Every which way...the wind blows.

Don't SEE yourself..as others do?
Don't think Tomorrow? Today's just fine;
and yesterdays, that you knew;
every which way..the wind blew?

GO tell your Mama, ya Pappy, too.
Though they be long dead,
they still love and think of you.
They'll know so well, all you forgot;
every which way; every which way...

1)

SIMONE, Simone. Simone Wonder! The blood U won't give, to twist the vice and all so nice that it comes out in a kiss? Simone, Simone Wander. The seas have swept your shore. Simone, Simone Wander. It's U: LUNA! And faraway seas for ever more.

2)

When da DROGUES come IN wearing black and stalking? When the Drogues come in, it's time to leave. When da Drogues show up at your Birthday party; go figure U are broke....with broken friends? When the Drogues show up at your "farewell concert"", full house, that flood the floor?
CANCEL THE SHOW!
When the Drogues exhibit altruism ...it terrifies my Soul.

3)

Will U still love me? Will U still care? Will U think about me, when I'm not there? U treat me like a Persian cat, so weird, so wonderful; she says, to the Kid, outside of NEED.
Will U still HURT? Will U still "kill"? Will U grind and say:"Still!-fucker Still!"YO! YO! YO! -She treats me like a Persian cat, yet to kill all-knowing I'm out of reach. The Boy... with the toy... of speech.


4)

On THIS side of your "prescription", on this side of YOU; on this side of them damn glasses, there's U?.....
Benedicta is your name.

1)  Lonely Boy.

Who's dat boy, dat lonely boy, on the beach, "matina"? Who's dat lonely boy, sooo sad, it seems? Who's that lonely boy on the beach, Mr. Lonely? That boy, I guess... is ME?

Who's dat Gal, lonely girl? On a faraway shoreline? -Pinning for the boy she longs to see, with a heart so true? Who's dat Gal, so strong, so Cool and Blue? An Angel! An Angel;  I guess... (who else?)  it's U?


2)  Carmella.

WHY do all the stars...keep on shinning? WHY do the Angels sing in Heaven above? And WHY does my heart keep on pounding? CARMELLA, U-are the one we all love!

WHY do all the birds keep on singing? And the Angels - little devils - up in heaven above? O WHY can't I STOP singing? -Coz, Carmella's the one we all love!...:)


3)  I dream of U.

When I go to sleep?.... I dream of U.  Just to sleep?  -I dream of U... Fertile the land of Love, a Mommas kiss to a child? And a  father says: "Be bold, my son?" I sleep and dream, and dream of U.

Do U DREAM Pappa; Mamma, too? DO U see the dream in front of U? U kiss me goodnight. I kiss U too. And every night I wish, I wish, I wish I dream of U... When I go to sleep? -I dream for U...:)
