Our Man in Europe, dave Delacroix... The Prize!

dedicato. Clay Cabe.


...I-d LIKE TO THANK anybody for this honour, this prize OF DEATH. I-m almost speechless, U can imagine the emotion. See the tear! And I know U-ved come from far and wide to BE here at my WHASSIT-memorial. I hope, getting here, this Desolation Row, the cabby's didn't rip U off too much... In HUMBLE RECOGNITION of Moms and Pops, alas, there-in my history is lacking. MA WITHERSPOON, my foster Lady deserves all credit for my grounded ETHOS. After THAT, a truism, a world of cheap whisky. U can buy it at the corner store. And HERE in DEATH, outside of heat or chill, far from the madding crowd, now pre-cluded from a life of travels...if  I EVER see another Highway sign - HELL must be full of them...to direct the beguiled - I-ll suck down a bottle of dark Rum, then regurgitate!
U IZ wot U IZ so the Poets say. Getting past the EYE, ya gotta get to the ZEE! YO! The Prize! U can now take your Selfies!
I-d really like to THANK dat dude in the crème-Le Baron convertible, 1992, whilst hitch-hiking outta Cincinnati, Ohio, Mason-Dix. He stopped. Handed me TWO Benjamin Franklin's then split! No Howdy, no Biz Card. I stayed drunk for the next 24 hours. Missed the J.F.K. connect to Europe. Missed EVERYTHING!...No fiscal sense-U had to be there....and IN retro, I guess he helped me along the way...TO the Prize.
I-d like to THANK a combination, the influences, of George Harrison and Margret Thatcher, BOTH Prime Ministers of England's life's Spirit.... Bare with me. Remember. I am Dead.
One, George, said LOVE. The other, GO FOR THE MARBLES!!! Combined, a double helix of pursuit, almost THORSTEN VEBLEN, the UN-answerable, that INNER-inert, confusion, WHA!..the path to the Prize.
And...to conclude...I-d like to THANK any one who I owed money to, anyone whose heart broken, the betrayed, the crucified, whatever GOOD I strived to achieve, the sinew of  OUR screaming existence, for YOU, I now accept this Prize.
