Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Apres Midi de Un Dude..." (The Dude's Afternoon...)
Santo, Donnatella, bar staff, Cafe-Bar ODEON, Sciacca, Sicily....Shaouki, Vespas, Bubble-Heads! Teenage parasites, old Rock stars gather; a terrazzo Woodstock, fleeting: Drink, Smoke, cough! Drink some more? -Before the Tourists hoards flex their Financial Muscle and provoke the local Economy into Overdrive? A time, distilled, MADE for Spirituality, beneath terrazzo canvas under a bleating Sun?
The Solar-powered Fountain, duly responding, evokes a wearisome rain, then GUsto Giusto, begins its Summer of Destiny! Stray cats "meow" in its unexpected spray; someones dog wags its tail! A Vista of sight AND sound to cool the piccolo piazza, affronting Eternity: the Chiesa St. Margharita!
No flies, no aerial disturbance. Some Mamma's ragazzo, bouncing his football off the Chiesa Porta!
Shaouki elects to join the Ragazzo and play Goalie. Tavola Ragazzi awaken! I am the Passenger. And I ride and I ride....
