Our Man in Europe/now in Belize/Dave Delacroix": "The Samauri's yesterday."
(Dedicato: Roger Armstrong, R.I.P.)
"The Samauri's yesterday."
...WHY IS IT WE R PRONE to look for Darkness when we, basking in the sunlight, a 'la once, from under a Mater's skirts furtively peep out? Allors!!! In the Mind's Eye, an epiphany/GOBSMACKED: Did HE who fricked the Lamb frick Thee!? And what's for Tea? Would U like it YIN or YANG?
GADZOOKS!!! To BE or NOT TO BE - the Marx Brothers make it seem SO easy like a Night at the Opera/DUCK SOUP - on the menu - or those THREE STOOGES smacking rhythm on their knees; alas poor YORICK, ya look pretty silly, a grinning skull/graveyard backdrop, a Courtly Fool, this Life U left for WE?
How (WOW!) do I love thee, let me count the ways? G.P.S. gonna come in handy so my "Techie-Buds" say but WHERE DO all sorrows go a 'la "recherche du whoosits"? How is it we R compelled - genetically - to pander TO our memories, a "release" button disabled?
(Poet Rilke:) "Who, if I cried out"...winged frickers... ANGELS would hear be BAWL/call 1-800-I'm All fricked up!/We only use first names/phone or E-mail. At the TONE leave ya whoosits. We'll get back to U. (Don't worry. Be happy)
...We tilled the soil, but now no longer productive, almost (?) as if we have made PEACE yet it is a DESERT, this survival VICTORY of our latter-day needs, haunted (guilt-ridden?), that fearless youth who sailed the 7 Seas who loved & lost. Was there ANY HOPE that we would discover faraway Cathay, El Dorado or Ponce de Lyons Fountain of Youth? (Bit part in a Movie?)
And tomorrow & tomorrow. Tomorrow's eternal Tomorrow. Time's spinning web to un-seat Kings, tyrants, proud or brave, a monument for some famous jousting Knight or a renown Samauri's yesterday; a courtly lady laments in a Gothic Chapel or a Geisha maiden weeps by a Kyoto temple... as Tomorrow creeps upon our petty place.
c.2026. Dave Delacroix.
