Our Man in Europe, dave delacroix....THAT BEER in Cheyenne!

Our Man in Europe, dave Delacroix....THAT BEER in Cheyenne...




That Beer in Cheyenne meant SO much more,
hanging out with the Railroaders, Kerouacs…


That Martini, where was that, Sand Diego, Hotel Coronado
or someplace, New Jersey, Widdah McShay, by Ashbury Park.
or McSorley-s, get off the Subway at ASTOR, Manhattan, NYC,


or a TWA,  a Continella airplane, LAST TYCOON,
fly-me-to=dah-MOON, GO-WEST, West Coast, Sullivans,
Chinatown, San Francisco... where I...found U. U floral dress. Me. Pea Coat.
Fisherman-s harbor. Woman on the Run! A Fugitive Dude!


That initial Cocktail, that FIRST KISS....your BUFFON...….OK. My hand-made Italian-Custom
FOOTWEAR. Bought Em off a Polish dude, down on his luck. 20 bucks! The pair.
 It-s hard to stagger-lee when your BABEE-s a Queen. A poor boy WILL shuffle!


 WE almost never met...SOME SAY....WE never DID!  WISDOM TOOK A POWDER!...But it-s a DISNEY-delight!...she leaves her card. MACEY-TYPIST-Agency ….after kickin Me in my butt!
We sail out of the FIRST FISHY Restaurant we can find  to the music backdrop of...Strangers in the Night...


An ARCH de TRIUMPH. A Marseillaise whatssit, a VINO
at MAZET, St. Germain des Pres! Or at A Café Rendezvous des Amis, a Montmartre,  a Salute, a bientot, c-mon ca va, ca va, mes amis…Maybe we are STILL in OAKLAND!


Somebody said I-d find U at Harry-s Bar in Venice. Place Sucks! Earnest Hemingway prices!
The Yellow Jackets tore down Fouquets.
Maybe we are STILL in Oakland...


If U and I hang around too long...we may be Candidates for Madame la Guillotine. I advise Macey, who-s FRENCH to go UNDERGROUND. Meantime, I head to the OLD SIMON in Freiburg, South Germany, by the Swiss-Basel border just in-case I need to open a Bank account. Something for a rainy day.


At FISHERMAN-S WHARF in San Francisco...Macey reassures Me. I-m OK. But...to STOP DREAMING. Here is where we are. In San Francisco. It-s OK. WE are OK. That BEER in Cheyenne. A story I wrote. A Story I wrote. And the places I-ve BEEN....A long, long time ago.
