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


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


(dedicato: Robert Gonzales)


DROWNING, not WAVING!
Drowning not Waving (flap-flap!),
SCREAMING, not Singing,
SCRAWLING, not Composing;
in an UN-Mood state, a USA state of mind?

U can add Romanian Paprika?
U can add Garlic from Sicily?
An Onion from France?
A Bagel from New York Citeeeee?

YAKKIN', not Conversing
Kissing but NOT loving,
I'm Walking, but not progressing (mostly alone)
And THINKING but not believing
burning LOGIC in my mind;
I guess, just LOOKING for that TWIST
to UN-ravel what windes?
.Lookin' for dat TWIST to UN-ravel
just what windes?

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Sweet Cigarette"

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Sweet Cigarette"

(Pure Tobacco, I roll/looks like a joint).

Sweet Cigarette, after dinner, before breakfast, with coffee, with brewskies; sweet cigarette? How "OFT" I pine, between Meal times, for your succulent lisp? And hang my head in sadness that the product that kick-started the USA Economy (Tobacco?) is now persecuted, socially, absurdly Taxed?

Sweet Smoker-roo? A plant, a gift like Marijuana-HEMP, that grows by the wayside?

oUR mAN IN eUROPE/dave delacroix/ "WhoA Babee!"


THIS BOY's takin- a PISS! Mary, Jesus & frickin Joseph?.... physically, metaphorically, this SIDE of the river Rhine? ....
THIS BOY's taking a SHINE , BHUDDA BOY, in the Ganges, HIS BODY, decaying, yet somehow meant to be?
And all the FUCKERS in the World? Trying to scratch MONETARY POWER; no kissin', no belonging, Suit and Tie, kickin' in where MONEY belonging? Keep the slaves Cool. Give 'em God and some semblance of Justice: Give 'em Rock & Roll.? A Religion.

THIS BOY; pissin' his pants, tryin' to look GOOD in the eyes of the next Belladonna; dat BOY who will find a WAY NOT..... say NOT to pay your TAXES, pay YOU: see my FINGER!? ...And "Honey? U ask where I stand?"

My finger on the trigger of the volition of my own choosing?... Afterall? It's STILL a big World. POWER-FUCKS leave ME, People like Me....Leave us alone. We dont want your GODS. We certainly do NOT want your Taxes: ADIOS!....:and,  whatever: Welcome to your JUNGLE: Vaya con dios!
So where was I, and what THE FRICK was I talking 'bout!?...

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "La Strada."


Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "La Strada."



(dedicato: Nicola Segreto)


...Loneliest Dude DOWNTOWN, loneliest Gal in da CASA? Loneliest KIDS down on the Skids, loneliest Vespa Ragazza, /ragazzo Strada, Night Rider?
Lonely BELLADONNA, "senza lavorno" (no job); lonely Madre-Padre? Bambini.Aviento? VAI! It's a lonely ol' Night, downtown; some November canzone?

Lonely young "Handicapped", wheelin' in a CHAIR, looking UP at a Life - for her? - NOT down there? No blinking eyes, nor seductive smile; no Vespa to SOMEPLACE...over the rainbow?

No Soldier, Sailor, Airman called to WAR, sitting in a washed out trench or...a Prisoner of War; no lonely Saturday, no Sunday night HUG that which once WAS a lonely, lonely night?

Whilst Lonesome, lonely XMAS: here it comes? Shoes ON your feet, a Life, some mental chewing gum? A sparkle in your eye, a sparkle on the SEA reminding Man or Beast of that portent of ALL things yet to BE; how the KIDS RUN, run & run & run?

Loneliest Dude, UPTOWN-Downtown, the loneliest Lady in her tower of Love; the loneliest Kids, the God sent "Mischief-Makers", bustin' DESTINY -like KIDS!? And that Solitary Man, that Singular Heroine, SOLO,  Vespa-Night Rider....on La Strada?

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Solare."



Our Man in Europe/dae delacroix/ "Solare"


(Just observations....I will be in Latin America in January, but I CARE 'bout the People here; my Fiends?..... Albeit a Poem and a Half?)


...WAITRESSES here in Sicily, unlike waitresses in Los Angeles who need Cocoa Cola  to function like the ALL NITE REVIEW Ladies, down by LAX (Airport), (MY BRAIN S..S. SO SLOW) which is why - at this moment? -  U get such  S, S,  Slow POETRY Service; the Experience U INVENT...which is your projected satisfaction; add a Bow  Jeeves & Hawkes tie and visual-chronic masturbation in the "Client", Reception area :  Savoy Hotel, almost Soho, almost C..C..Covent Garden, but the Q...Q...Queen of "The Strand", THE SAVOY HOTEL, the  washroom; my Goodness! U are almost there...with a Fantabulous Credit Card!!! And some UK Sunday Times', Waugh fagot Blues? With Cinzano & Canapes who could want for more plus an UN-limited Project expenditure, funding courtesy of the BBC (Israeli Occupied Territory)....

Parked my Butt at my local Pub, Murphy's (Sicilian-Irish): "Non Violence against Women" Protest Gathering, down n Piazza Scandilitto, over looking the Marina, the harbour and the wild, anarchic sea, still yet to be controlled in Man's infinite stupidity?  Mind? Ot DON'T Mind? Or the whiplash tongue that can send her Sailor Boys, down into foreign shores or onto rocks he could not, setting sail for-see? Not with-standing,  shrouded, island, Widows who mourn a foolish Sea Captain, and his Crew...never to return?

WAITERS, Waitresses, here in Sicily, they honour the TITLE: "Camerae.".....; pretty much EVERY ONE of them has a Diploma from the famed  University in Palerma, Roma, Milano, Torino: some testimonial?
Yet STILL, Italy, Sicily, on a daily basis - July/August, capito, it 's too damn hot! - Winter, Spring, Fall
ALL business's CLOSE between 1.30 till 5.30 every afternoon...which does NOT attract International Investment? And ike ALL Waitresses in SHANGHAI (China) say:....NO SAK-SAK!!!... So WHO to complain, "This is NO Country for Young People?", Unlike TEXAS, USA, "NO Country for Old Men?" ....U reap what U Sow: CATCH-22...

LUIGI: "Davida!"
Mio: "Yo!"
Luigi: "Just got back rom England!"
Mio: "Cool. What do U DO there?"
Luigi: "Pizzeria!"
Mio: "CCool!"
MIO: "OK. Pizzeria. When U finish Work, what do U do?"
Luigi: "We FRICK OFF DOWN TO DA PUB!!!!

......LUIGI & MIO, (2 DUDES) who  are NOT even REMOTELY "Palestinian" or "Samaratino", or WHATEVER are trying to SELL (ahem!) to the BBC (Israeli Occupied Territory) the SICILIANO-ENGLESE-PIZZA-CONNECTION.....(A Euro-Migrant Sitcom)


(Already! Great response! I've been offered a JOB picking Oranges in JAFFA! (Israel) WHOO!!!)

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Any Given Sunday..."

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Any Given Sunday..."

ANY given NIGHT, any  Sunday/Monday moment of your Life?
Any given Romance-Last Chance? Any forgotten, wistful, given lovin', lovin'  glance?

Any BLUE Sky, any GIVEN kiss (U forgot about?), any given "Heartbeat", somethin', any chance U missed!?
And any LUCK that shined upon U; and a  sad refrain; recounting?...

Any Song of Songs, written, crossed your Heart; and  ANY which way but to lose; or the Devil racing in your Blues?
Or any time U spend a Dime that ain't "do'in" what it's s'posed to do?, making your fella' Man just as Strong as U... like that cold wind Winter's Coffee brew? In Your shoes!?

Any given Wishes, CHRISTMAS, birthdays, presents for the KIDS -fallen on stoney ground? And ANY forgotten kisses, Belladonna, later ON, but now UN-found?

....Any "misbehavin'", any Truth I told, come back a'haunting & cold?

(Kitchen conversation: "DAVE!!! U ever thought 'bout goin' back to MINNESOTA!?"....."Honey? I'm not FROM Minnesota!!!?")

Any given Sunday,any given MONDAY, any given night, any given Light,  shine on?  And any  given MOMENT: U shine on.
And any  given Moonshine? And any  given twilight? -And any given Sunday- second thought coming on;
That "any given Sunday", somehow, goes along...this side of Paradise?..

(Front Porch conversation: "Are we takin' the Kids down to the BEACH now; or BUCKETS & SPADES! -we taking da Kids down to da Beach!?").... and, ("Go start the Car!!!")....
