Our Man in Europe, dave delacroix... House-Screams!!



Our Man, like YOU, busta-trombone, maybe a Sax, a Clarinet but EVERY Kid knows...as a KID...to blow a HORN. YOU-MAN, in Africa, Siberia or Turkmanistan, we get a CHANCE to play-SING out our Souls! There-s no PROFIT  but WE get to Groove...and maybe SHARE, somehow...
Our Dude in Europe, your PLACE, my Gig too, Sing out Brother, sing out SISTA!!!...Make it loud.
Open 1-3-1-2-1 =Open....Trumpet Scale. My SIGNAL to YOU. First thing I musically learnt before I went into the World!
OUR MAN, your Dude, a Narrative, a psycho-compass-boogaloo, East of Pesos, South of Hail Mary, North of Moriah, House-screams! -your last daughter-s kiss.
Maybe it was OPEN 1-2-3-1=OPEN.
....I got DEAF. Maybe a new beginning....

Our Man in Europe, dave delacroix.... MENU for MURDER...D N D Detective,  Coffee Black.

dedicato. Jan-Michael Vincent.

...HE WAS PICKIN his teeth with a Needle. Not a Knife. Not a Scalpel, not a Samorai sword. THIS Boogaloo was not your every day Black-Jack MOJO. Usually Santa Monica is a quick stare. Beach pants, YAKKA-tee shirt, kamikazi stare. Different bird.
In NEED of bird nest soup I proffered a Confession like Won Ton Soup.
KON-NI-CHI-WA!
And as soon as he responded I KNEW he wasnt the Dude!. Sgt. Nalty, LAPD=s finest had got the wrong kid. But the KID knew something and he wasnt Happy=Talk.
Anyhow, the Asian Community in Southern California like US Whitties! Gotta problem! Get it OUT! The missing-Asian kids, word electric, Santa-Monica=San Pedtro=Pallisades UP by Ventura State line the WIRE ran hot!
Che-Shang , big dude-apparently, call in.....Call IN. HIS dialect.  Nobody wanted to lose face. Wotchagonna-DO when 20 MISSING KIDS suddenly come OUT of the woodwork, swear they were not in a Sweat-Shop, Point Dume-Malibu Surfing, out on a Weekend!... Yo! DnD. Missing Kids. Missin Faces on the Milk CARTON. Chinese kids too!!!... Coffee black. Sometimes. Like a Lie. And then some. U swallow...Make mine 2 sugars!...

Our Man in Europe, dave delacroix... The Mean Season

Our Man in Europe, dave delacroix... The Mean Season


One of DEM brutal days,
Oven-roasted streets,
Everyone U meet, half dead
dehydrated, FANTA-expiration,
one of DEM boogaloos
a whistle without a tune
a TOOTH without enamel,
a lipstick drooping smirk.

One od DEM daze, a house
without a Home, a Message,
someplace, lost in the CLOUD
that Cloud-thingy
where All Selfies go to Heaven!
That Cloud-Information
which one day MIGHT
come raining down on U.

One of DEM brutal stinking
god-forbid whoosis!
The one you should fear.
...where Angels fear to tread.
The Mean season.

ROMEO IS bleeding and
Go figure,
Juliet, long since gone!
As the goddamned Planet
does it Tricks,
No accounting for Heart
over Mind,
just that Giaconda smile
that DRIVES Love-s stake
on home
and a Bloody-Mary
a petite-dejeuner, frickin breakfast!
...pour le demain
or maintenant!...Sil vous plait!
ROMEO is bleeding
just like the Play...Bienvenue!

Our Man in Europe, dave delacroix...Wouldnt it be Nice!

Our Man in Europe, dave delacroix... Wouldnt it be Nice!



Wouldnt it be nice if that buzz-bug just got the hell out of my frickin room AND
wouldnt it be NICE if there was Peace on Earth, and wouldnt-etc. I didnt have to wear a COVID-19 Mask every time I said I wanna Fuck U!...Sometimes in Anger, sometimes in COMMERCE, and sometimes, can I share your Bicycle! Frickin gizmo-wheels! A Maserati! Ya, Ya, OK!
Wouldnt it be NICE if NICE was just Nice. A Sandwich by the Canal without Fucking  SEX-subversion involved. Yet Rivers, Canals, lonely places, nothing on T.V., pre-cellphone daze, birds and the Bees. That godamned Mockingbird!
I sigh...Wouldnt it be NICE if WE were older in a WORLD outside of our YEARNING. A World  where WE had some UNDERSTANDING and a PAUSE foot-control at our ever=ready toe!
I-d discuss this with my Milkman.
No longer delivers Milk
With my local Butcher.
Gone Vegan.
With the Newspaper Kid.
Bicycle. Got crushed by,,,ya dont wanna know.
With my Ex=wife.
Go figure.
With my Psychiatrist
....funny how instinctively I can SPELL the Doc-s title....
.........
SO!
Wouldnt IT be nice!

QUIET DAZE in VIC-F
