Our Man in Europe, Dave Delacroix: "DA MOMMAS & DA PAPPAS!"

 Our man in Europe, Dave Delacroix "DA MOMMAS & DA PAPPAS!"

...On a Mexican "ADO" City-to City bus, Merida to Chetumal, 200 miles, a CANCER treatment survivor (MIO!) with severe hair loss, a 1944 "AUSCHWITZ-SELFIE", skeletal features, an image of despair. No Song, no Guitar but back on the road to someplace, no name, no destination...miles & miles of jungle-green, fast backward-bus speeding, no glimpse of the highway road signs. Speeding along. A Belizean BRO, Lionel Forte, tall guy, holding my Cancer-limp hand.

"All the leaves R brown & the sky is grey" - here - Corozal-Belize - across the street we hear it day by day like NATURE'S LUNGS, just sometimes an occasional breeze: (Singing: "And if I didn't tell her...") What discretion/modesty in some Mind's Chinatown, Shanghai, Paris, Milano, your legendary background, who's to say it was only California dreaming?

I went into a Church. I cooked a "Coq au Vin". A DICK inflated with wine incumbent rhyme. I wason a "mission", Psycho Missionaries one & al, their wisdom like JOKES, wherever their punch line falls. Still, "all the leaves R brown. A Greek Chorus of HARRADIANS - old gals in your local Corozal-Belize drunk tanks -  yet just WHO SCARS your Twilight ZONE, your projected 11th hour solitude, and later a Cognac or 2, pet-felines. Da Mommas & da Pappas: A crescent moon.
