Our Man in Europe, now Belize, Dave Delacroix: CRIMI-TRILOGY No. 3: "The Great BATSBY."

 Our Man in Europe, now Belize, Dave Delacroix: CRIMI-TRILOGY No. 3: "The Great BATSBY."

...It's SOOOO hard to be a SEX SYMBOL as any Sex Symbol knows. U could BE a cinematic/comedic dwarf (loved!) a Leading Man/STARLETTE/the Oomph Gal with Internet stalkers up the wazee?

(Lerman coming over with the bourbon?)

U R the ONLY woman I ever loved, No. 62 s-why I always invite U to my pool parties/bring your friends/welcome to the ILLUSION of Paradise. Distilled-TIME. A "cosa-nostra."

(Police Sergeant Jones arriving with Johnny Walker Black Label?)

An anchor, a backbone, a sinew-spiritual of SOUL, a long-forgotten song usurping Times natural blockade of forgetting....

O.K. ENOUGH of THAT verbiage, bugs here in Corozal-Belize crawling cross my laptop screen...

"OK! ACTION!!! LIGHTS!!! CAMERA!!"


OUR MAN in EUROPE, now Belize, DAVE DELACROIX: "THE BIG BATSBY!"


...The TRAIN that never stopped, the Lemons on your tree, an ALIBHI, a "Maigret" detective, smokey, PARIS-1930s (cinematic B/W), LOCOMOTIVE that seeps into your nostalgia which whispers COGNAC, Calvados, your Pappas pipe smoke, a "debutante de la vie?" And that night of the... that BIG BATSBY SOIREE, the night U lost your virginity> Remember?

Somehow profound, somehow we remember, somehow, we DIE feeling like an April's fool WITHIN a fool, idiosinz-metic (? ) an inner spiral all the way to Loves front door; pity the POETS Verlaine, Rimbaud who pissed on each other's manuscripts, the urinal on the Boulevard St. Germaine, where Superstars, a 'la Johnny Depp reside, stinking, yet glistens in the Paris-morning sun...

,,,the GREAT BATSBY...shot dead in his own swimming pool, oddly, jitterbug jazz music homicide-backdrop. His servants HUMMED: "Do I have to fuck U/ Do I have to fuck your Wife?" It's always, summertime, tough on Long Island. A golf club over your head. A swimming pool. A floater. Maybe a "transient" did the dirty deed? A passer-by? "We just made the Cocktails. Can we keep these Tuxedoes?"

As for gay Paree: The Train that never stops. The lemons on your tree. An Alibi. Sherlock Holmes, MAIGRET, a 7-11-USA, or as in Mexico, 24-7, the OXO convenience outlet: The BIG, the GREAT BATSBY, like the ENRON-CORPORATION, too big to fail. A Charleston upbeat song simmers across Big Batsby's swimming pool. Even Macbeth's three Witches decline to wail.
