DELACROX abides.... Part: 9: "ALL TOMORROW'S PARTY'S..."



Did I ever tell you about "Commie" rats? Or the No.4. bus ? -goes by my Palazzo like clockwork? -that acid-reflex in your throat/GURGLE-BAD;
That Cocaine dealer-gal who (you met, Boys!) WHAKKED Life, like a Siren.. and made grown men SWINE?

Did I ever tell you 'bout the Apostle; some "hippy" dude, playing accoustic on the Mount?
He sang songs of Bread, songs of Fishes: yet still to this day, man's mind can't crave enough...?

Did I tell you about that Gal I met, yesterday?...In the Art shop? -Wearing a gold bandana?....

"Tell them "Willy Boy" was here!"

"...The night is long" (that never finds the Dave)...

Reflections in a golden eye.

Flight of the Valkyries!

"Put NOT your faith in Princes..."

Once upon a time Hansel and Gretal went skipping down the lane. Then, my "dick" fell off.
Climate? It's overcast. Grey. And refuses to shine.

Our Man in Europe/dave the rave/here comes JOHNNY LOVE MUSCLE/part 6: "APOPLECTIC NOW!"

(Rilke/Morrison) "Who, in the order of angels, can hear me now?..."/"This is the End, my only friend, the End."

(Caribineri/police report:)
... "The Gal ran half naked up the Via Campagnia, collapsed in the Piazza Cavalli, apparently had an ORGASM - or went into some sexual fever - then frothed at the mouth... We suspect Cocaine."

The MAYOR/Burgomaster/SINDACO, along with Carabineri Chief of Police, some guy from ITALIAN "Secret Service" (the guy, when speaking, absolutely does NOT gesticulate!)... Anyhow, the MAYOR, who is the SECOND last person in town to hear of this event has ME summonsed; Lord Borgo. Problemo in my jurisdiction...!

"Dave?" he said. "It's quite clear something is amiss..."
"Yes Sir." I said. "Si, Signori" -eyeing the Italian Secret Service guy. (he's a dead-ringer for Harrison Ford or Samuel S Jackson in a kilt!?)
The MAYOR continues: "This Gal, obviously, is a "miss-fit", intent on /AND ruining the Piacenza TOURIST TRADE upon which this city relies and WITHOUT any concern for the timid populace who, even as we speak, are in such a state of "dismay"; they cannot choose between prosciutto or salami!?... She is CLEARLY operating outside of the LAW under NO authorized supervision and OUT OF CONTROL!"
(Everyone takes off their Ear-muffs and there's an intense silence in the Mayor's office)

I clear my tonsils: "Clearly, Sir. Out of control"; says I: "Undoubtedly!"

"WE," the Mayor explains, "order you to go "Up-River", find out what you can, LOCATE "said Miscreant" and "Terminate" her "situ"!"
"Terminate, Sir?" I ask, re-arranging my ear-muffs.
"Yes. Terminate." affirms the Mayor. "Terminate with COMPLETE INDIFFERENCE..."
"COMPLETE indifference?" says I, just to be sure....?
Ear-muff-snug.
"Categorically...", whispers the Mayor....!

(Rilke/Morrison) "Who, if I cried out, in the Order of the Angels/fricks with wings/would hear me now?/"this is the End, my one and only friend, the End; I'll never look into your eyes, again...?"

...As LORD BORGO; essentially, the Prince of my "locale", it was clear - certainly from the Mayor's point of view - that I had a DUTY to perform/I was obligated...

The GAL - in question - once again ran up the Via Campagnia, THIS time, completely "starkus", did a little dance, then collapsed, had a TRIPLE ORGASM , then proceeded to froth at the mouth - shocking ALL standby-bystanders and, later, everyone on the  Inter-net!
As LORD BORGO? -I had to respond.

€2.00 -potatoes.
€1.50 -Spanish beans.
€3.50 -Frozen Alaskan Cod.
€1.72 -San Mattino Vino Bianco
€5.12 -12 pack, WUHRER beer.
€5.40 -Pueblo tobacco.

.......... I picked up this crazy GAL in my arms and carried her away from the madding crowd. My destiny, pre-ordained, was clear?...
WE now live in an AIRSTREAM trailer in the great State of Missouri, near Kansas, and are thinking  of not ONLY raising/breeding GOATS, but teaching them the eloquence of the English language....after, of course, they have accomplished Italian.

Our Man in Europe/davedelacroix/the FURTHER adventures of Johnny Love Muscle: part 5: Last-shot/New year!


...Played Salvatore's WORLD CAFE last nite. Small, elegant, bar-cafe on the via Calzolai, Piacenaza, just off the Piazza Cavalli
Crystal glasses, decadent bar, spot lighting, humungous chandelier, "see-thru" tables/chairs -poly-fibre something; squeaky clean!

I opened my piccolini concertini with one of my love songs, called: "Utility Bill".
There was some HAMMERING from the appartments above?

I followed up with ANOTHER love song, entitled: "Dental plan".

The HAMMERING from above got SO intense - obviously not music lovers - that the humungous chandelier dislocated from the ceileing and hung/swung about like the Marquise de Sade's lame "dick"?

Needless to say, the gig was a bust.

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/the FURTHER adventures of Johnny Love Muscle/part 4:  "LAW & BOREDOM".

(DOINK-DOINK!)

January 1st., 2013, midnight, I ran out of writing paper, the Utility company turned off the Electric.
Fortunately, I had 2 candles - courtesy of the Basilica St. Sepulcro - a forgotten roll of wallpaper (floral) upon which I write.

My upstairs/appartmento neighbor, Guiessipina was playing JAMES BOND movie soundtracks REAL LOUD; I had a pack of smokes and a FULL bottle of Romanian vino/frizz ante!
Things (life) outside of NOT getting laid, could'a been worse. It was new year's day.

Guiessipina, incidentally, killed her "dick" boyfriend. I didn't hear it happen, of course. FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE at full blast tends to block out everything... COPS showed up. CRIME SCENE. Law & Boredom. Flashing lights. Victim's neck slashed. Eyes poked out. Blood all over the place. An Xmas body on the floor in "festive"decaying pyjamas.
I was, as G's neighbor, dragged in as a witness (?). G, looking aghast and confused: "Must have been an intruder!?" she said.
I concurred. I liked G. Her boyfriend was a prick.
Cops didn't care. C.S.I. showed up - fashionably late - with Nikon cameras and great hair-do's/video detectives, etc.. Later? Me G. (the immediate suspect), the Cops, the C.S.I- team (with great hair-do's)? -we all went to the local cafe/bar, sat down, got beers.
The Cops asked G. if she in fact had killed her boyfriend? She said: "Sure. He was a sonofabitch/had a Momma-complex/beat the shit outta me/last 2 years!"
We ALL understood.
Me, G. The Cops, the C.S.I. team (great hair-do's), after several beers resolved the following: "Victim murdered by person or persons unknown/No fingerprints on Machete/Case CLOSED."
Happy New Year: LAW & BOREDOM.

(DOINK-DOINK!)

c 2013/davedelacroix/piacenza/italia.....New year's day (bono singing) everything is closed/go rob a cigarette machine; on new year's day: "I will be will you again...in Dublin....:)

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/the FURTHER adventures of Johnny Love Muscle: part 3: "BEING THERE."

(dedicato: Carol Marie Aniello)

I live on the "piano Terra" (ground floor) across the street (via Campagnia) from the Basilica St. Sepulcro; a complex configuration of architecture.
...Romanesque roofs. Couple  of domes. John Cleese/.tall facade, back-end-Gothic, neo-Gothic, structures. Heavy on the brick-work. Renaissance, neo-neo Pre-historic (?) - whatever? - : like watching some "Wunder-kind" (talented brat) manipulating (with gusto!) some Stradivarius violin and wondering, "HOWDEE DO DAT!?"
It's really frickin' BIG.

In direct view of my "appartmento" window, a FAN of Ivy ascends the Basilica's wall and - ho-hum! - gives the Basilica an added lustre as - ho-hum! - do stars to the night?

In Spring? It's skeletal. An aluminum sculpture. In Summer? It's lush green and full of possibilities...like Christmas in July. Come fall? EMERALD. The eye, the color, of envy; full knowing, whilst IT will die, you and I might live on: WILL live on.
Before Winter's death-blow? The Ivy has ONE rash change. The Ivy turns Sapphire. A translucent RED that burns into your immortal soul.
