Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix : "The Loneliness of Rain.".

OUR MAN in Europe/dave delaroix/ "The LONELINESS of Rain."


"...the loneliness of rain sings to ya Soul, it wants  YOU to hug your bosom, your "righteous" and your Soul? Now, don-t go letting it Down? Give it all your respect, a fornicating concept: abstract! ABstracct! ...dA loneliness of RAIN, a kiss without a Smile? A Country Girl from  the Shires, her wiles, her wiles; as we burn her at the Media  Stake? An "Auto da FE"... that Catholic, Vatican PEOPLE who  satiate? WHOOSH! So Continental!!!  After-all, they are People? And the burnt, Dead,  with "Sede Vacante", "Haber-rum Pappa"....and the Old Gal on the crowded SUBWAY, to whom  - you NEVER! - give up your Seat?
Is this...ENGLISH?  Count the Saxons! Take the Dane Gold; take the Dane LAW and Edward, CONFESSOR, King of England's "Dark Ages": your lonely reign?

Our Man in Europe&dave delacroix: "Grande Illusion."

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Il Grande Illusion".


("Don-t cry for ME, fucking JESUS!")


...LEND ME $20! I've lost all my fine Gold? Tonight? DA BELLE I was courting in my seclusion, some other, in her sight?  -LIKE A VIRGIN  NUN on a Skateboard, winging?
There was ONCE a Princess, a Maiden, her name DIANA, Blue blood  and true who loved a
Pakistani Prince? He's now dead. The Princess too? What blood inter-mingles in that  Royal Tunnel of Love? And the Families, like neighbours,  who speculate?
As for ME? - My fine Gold lace, tapestries and Holdings, in "Hock"!, like a Government, I borrow and lease (Ownership is a MYTH!) Still, I sing me a song, let the "Grande Illusion" last long...so that ALL my Buddies can feel Free! -On their very OWN tedious journey- Loves; washing their American  hair or darned English socks; me, bereft, a DICK, myself, dissolving into a sexual whirlpool?
LEND ME $20! Yet another $20! In the Casino? Lend me $200! Lend me the KEYS to your Pontiac, your heart?.... Then?  As the WORLD progresses, ever-threatening to fall apart? Gather the Family: Let's all sing: ""Don't cry for ME, frickin' Jesus!"....(And don't cry for the one's that I love?)  And don't cry .... for the one's that I Love: A Colony of aspiration, revolution and fiscal despair?

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Feedback!"


A SCREECH!....UN-controlled; the Summer is KILLING me with Loneliness due to SLOTH, inadequacies, Ego-obsession and (my Medicine) alcohol.
It's NOT North Korea, Donald Trump or  BREXIT? Is it the GUILT-LESS-NESS, OUR History, Farewell-SLAPS! Hate Mail? Or Cultural disdain: the SNARL of  CLOWNS?

A SCREECH Kiss! -A long awaited pour from a demijon of "Vin de la  Maison"? An UN-suspected HOLLER! A cry for help!? -SUSTAINED-feedback; that UN-cut TRUE LOVE...in a grinder?

SING OUT: "Just WHO has sailed the Seven Seas? And, in love, survived that Whisky harbour?"

ALL the UN-written, all the Written, Spoken, UN-spoken, Cried and UN-cried SUSTAINED!
A feedback?
And that Face which launched a thousand ships, as the long, hot  - inferno! - Summer passed me by...?

(dedicato: "THE JINNS", Denver Colo.'s, 1980/90's finest Rock-a-billy/R & B/Jerry Lee: Pete Nalty, Rob England and the Crew!?


...I SHOULD learn more (language) ITALIAN?
("Perché? No lo so!")
I should QUIT drinking BEER!
(OK: I KNOW this one...?)
I should cut down on Smoking? I should get my ASS
in Gear?

I should throw away my Antique Cell-Phone
(I never answer it, anyway?) And/OR: KARATE
my Laptop P.C. and E-Mail that Inter-net Service
SUCKER into OUTTA' SPACE!!!

I should give up my favourite Cafes & Bars
(Wince!?); yet "Maybe?" LESS is MORE?
Plus! Empty the Fridge of those fattening Brews
or pick up an Old Guitar and GET BACK to...
just WHERE?

Fortune and Fame? And that 1.000 yard STARE
U get from playing "Big Time R & R!"; arena, street or square?
Where does it LEAVE U: Some lonesome, midnight Cafe?
(Cough! Choke! Splutter!)

I should GET BACK without LOOKING BACK
and RESOLVE to, never, ever, ever, EVER
FALL IN LOVE....again....!.....
(...As for the WHISKY? -We'll talk 'bout DAT later!)

Our Man in Europe/dae delaroix/ "Borscht!"

(dedicato: Angela Salvidi)


...There's a fly in my soup, a cockroach in my heart, there's a  big nose which might smell of stink and there's some KID on the horizon we may have yet to crucify?... Does it matter? NO: as the World turns.

There's a poignancy - I am not qualified? - , an IN-sider's VIPER venom, a "Witchfinder", dunking Devil: "Ou sans les neige daNTAN?" And some KID on the horizon who is yet to  save our Souls?

There's (don't choke!?) a domestic bliss, a Gin & Tonic, a kiss, HUG, a forgiveness: and ALL the World's a BONFIRE at that moment when Man and Woman KISS...as we riddle and UN-riddle the bounty beyond our grasp, drowning in our passions?

There's a "domestic BLISS. a Gin & Tonic, a hug, kiss, forgiveness and ALL the world's a bonfire after Man and Woman do kiss....?
