OUR MAN in EUROPE/BELIZE, Dave Delacroix; "5-%-easy pieces."

 Our Man in Europe/Belize, Dave Delacroix (a.k.a. David Michael Oxley on Facebook?): "5%-Easy Pieces!!"

1)..."The Devil's Dram!"

(dedicato: Kathy @ the Almond Tree Hotel, Corozal-Belize.)

From Tinna Bruich to Aberdeen, from Glen Coe to the Kyle of Lochalsh, the Isle of Aran to the Hebrides, the "Devil's DRAM, the last whisky in the bottle U serve for free.

From hard-scrabble Glasgow to lace-curtain Edinburgh, from Inverness, Dornoch the Pipes all agree and whatever skullduggery in Castle-Sterling, that last whisky U serve for free, the Devil's "Dram" U give for free.

2)... "Row after row."

The walking wounded with a million $-dollar wound... leaving Life's trenches, got-later scars & all to howl at a new moon? As for the DEAD, now fully fed... of Love's story/history, row after row, the poppies grow who SLEEP, hermetic, bitten, killed in Youth, gone, & alone. The walking wounded, that good=old Tin hat thrown into the ring of diversity beyond GOD or despair; a walk in the Sun; ICARUS should be so lucky? Devils fester around Love's fools?  I wish it would rain!? A pinning for the Sun in whatever the country wherever my Life became. Row after row R U in the Q?

3)..."Gone with the Wind."

REGRETS R worthless, best look ahead for the Love to be found, square or round? That Song-Un-sung, dwelling in the under-belly of your heart from an age of Reason to an age of Art? And WHO R your "besties"? -Amigos ONE or 2 that support U in trouble: "We happy Few!"? REGRETS only nail down your Coffin, no Dirge-singing, a Sylvia Plath BELL JAR, church bells boog-a-loo, death & taxes certainty, pesky conscience, like your regrets, and 3 generations - if U R lucky - your Life-remembered... gone with the wind. So, we raise a Jar!!!

4)..."Charlie-Horse!"

Ha-Ha! It's ALL hell, leastways OUR concept, that aftermath of Love's first kiss or that first FIST that attacks your jaw? Don't worry! That first SCREAM (might not be Yours?) U HEAR to tear the fabric of your tranquility as FEAR is meant to do? -A POEM to wrench your sinew/"Charlie-horse" leg cramps/middle of the night when your conscience, butterfly, needs wings-repose? "Ha-ha!" A Court-fools best jest before a King! Do U laugh or cry, universally, or do U transmogrify, become your own Zodiac Star? Afterall, there R worse places to be?

5)..."I got the Mood."

I got the Mood; I got the mood? I got a feelin, U got it too? I got the MOOD, come in with U? I got the mood, I got the mood!

Angels R singing! Ringin mah bell. I Got the mood, a song filled with U? I got the mood. I got the mood. I got the mood, a groove with U.
