Our Man in Europe/now Belize/Dave Delacroix: "A Circumnavigation of The Globe."
(dedicato: Songs by: Sandy Denny -R.I.P./Band/Fairport Convention (Come all U roving Minstrels) & The Allman Brothers (I was born a Ramblin Man).
"A Circumnavigation of The Globe."
...HAVE U EVER BEEN TO Tipperary/ it's actually NOT a long way to go/a 'la WW1 Song... if U live in Dublin. The Geraldine & Johns, such a happy throng till the "potato famine' (1820s-on) made CRUEL the emerald Isle & neighbor England's Industrial Revolution could not CARE FOR erstwhile!
Have U ever been to ROME? U now live there. G.P.S. U live in Trastevere? MANOH! 2,000 years on, post-horse-chariots or Maseratis or a classic MOTO-GUZO Italian hot-rod to this day, Via-Capri, via any which way U wanna go, it'll get U there. (Don't need a Compass.) U will eventually "show up" despite rumors of "See Napoli & die!"
I never queue up & enter into the VATICAN in Rome with more than two Credit Cards, incidentally. (Yes, indeed, U might enquire?)
Did/could U venture into the "forbidden City"/SLASH a Peking-Emperors divine throat, now mute. SUNG OUT, a dynasty, a saga of WAR, the construction of the great Chinese Wall & imperial admirals, (1300s) sailing the Seven Seas, Arabia, Africa, NORTH AMERICA, nothing of significance homecoming to report.
It IS INDEED a question - a circumnavigation of the Globe - as to where to pivot a global Maps Compass and not so much to say, where have I been (Youthful homecomings, after traveling/partying/Museums/Art Galleries/Street Cafes/chasing after Gals, etc.) what the hell does it all mean!?
Interestingly enough, the World's historical explorers, many, out there died. Dr. Livingstone. Conquistadors. But so many others integrated & founded a new heaven and never - "What da frick? and happily never came back.
c.2026. Dave Delacroix.
