Ma Jalouse, Mon Unique, Mon Ultime
Sais-tu ce que Lord Invader, Sam Manning
Cyril Monrose, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong
Jack Sneed et Ernest Rangling
Sans oublier Blue Glaze Mento Band et Phil Madison ?
Et je m'arrête là pour l'instant,
Sais-tu ce qu'ils ont en commun ?
Eh bien vois-tu, ce sont tous mes ombres.
Tu ne pourras jamais me comprendre
Si tu ne les comprends pas
Et si tu ne sais pas ce que représentent pour moi
La mangouste et le raccoon.
De même que pour te comprendre il faut avoir lu tout Dostoievski
Pour me comprendre il faut avoir écouté tout Sly Mongoose
Car peut être n'as-tu vu en moi qu'aria et boléro, symphonie et concerto
Alors je t'explique : pour comprendre, n'essaie pas de philosopher
Lève-toi et bouge tout simplement et tu toucheras l 'essence
C'est du folklore, c'est du reggae, c 'est du mento, c'est du calypso, c'est du jazz,
C'est instrumental ou c'est vocal
C'est moi, mes ascendances et descendances.
Sly Mongoose c'est mes Frères Karamasov
Smerdiakov, Aliocha, Ivan et Dmitri
C'est mon Idiot, mon prince Lev Mychkine
C'est mon Joueur, mon Alexei Ivanovitch

Mon Rêve d'un Homme Ridicule
Et Raskolnikov errant dans la nuit dans Crime et Châtiment.
Sly Mongoose c'est l'histoire d'une mangouste maline
Qui a baptisé la fille du pasteur
De son eau sainte
Et qui fuit la Jamaïque
Et part à l'étranger
Après son forfait.
C'est l'histoire d'une mangouste qui vole les poules les plus grasses de la cuisine
Et qui les met dans la poche de son veston
C'est l'histoire d'une mangouste qui entre dans la cuisine d'un prédicateur
Et qui repart avec une des poules les plus grasses
Et tous les chiens savent son nom.
il s'appelle Sly Mangoose
Il est malin, il est vicieux, le compère
C'est mon ombre, que veux-tu
Et parfois pour échapper aux prédateurs
Il prend l'apparence de l'ombre d'un raccoon.

Sam Aug 2012
Mi fai scoppiare in lacrime.
Gioia, tristezza, e l'amore.
Sono sopraffatto
ogni volta
Ti vedo.

Le Farfalle ritorno
Di volta in volta.

Il mento così prominente,
Il tuo sorriso così luminoso,
I tuoi occhi così incantevole.

Un abbraccio come nessun altro,
Caldo, pieno d'amore.
Imbarazzante e scomodo.

Baci soffici, duro, lento, veloce.
Intenso.

Fai finta di essere, cose che non sono,
Ma dentro di me vedere il tuo amore, la compassione,
La paura, il dolore, la gioia.

ride piccoli come un anello vero figlio dalla bocca,
come ** dolcemente solleticare la vostra abbronzato, ventre maculato.

Avvolto tra le tue braccia,
un bruco in un bozzolo.
Cassetta di sicurezza, suono, sicuro.

Abbiamo urlare e piangere.
Ci baciamo e ci sorridiamo.
Abbiamo fatto male e guarire.

Tu sei mia,
Io sono tuo.
Non importa chi ti ha amato,
o che vi piace quando ci separiamo,
L'amore che sgorga dal mio cuore,
per te,
Continuerà fino a che non cessa di.

Mi fai ridere,
piangere,
urlo,
brivido,
nella gioia, la rabbia, la disperazione, l'amore.

Voi mi levate dal baratro che è la mia mente.
Mi ricordi per questo che voglio essere vivo.
Giovanni Pascoli  Jun 2017
Orfano
Lenta la neve fiocca, fiocca, fiocca.
Senti: una zana dondola piano piano.
Un ***** piange, il piccol dito in bocca;
Canta una vecchia, il mento sulla mano.
La vecchia canta: intorno al tuo lettino
C'è rose e gigli, tutto un bel giardino.
Nei bel giardino il ***** si addormenta
La neve fiocca lenta, lenta, lenta.

like a living doll
The poll percentages
Making a living
Do me proud
Mom of ruffles

And her
wrinkles
don't match
her smile dress

The spouse moved
out of his house
When will this be
the decent home?
All  together now
bombarded the movie

Humphrey Bogart
The Bounty
Let's Be Casa Blanca
A kiss is not a
percentage
Like the add-ons
it's decent
Less drama timeshare

Hacienda ruffle
bottoms
sundress
Love to compare
County fair wonder-
At home, windows
Tightly forgiven shut
raining mad
hallelujah

Don't think you
will Ruffle some
R-ob-in Birds
Be decent parent trap
Ruffles so flattering
she knows the best
She is wearing
the fringe peace
hippy vest

All Holy Moly

What will the
future present?

All fringe benefits
All feathered with
Tight latex things that
don't look decent
to fit

He bought her the most amazing Ruffle designer
long love skirt
___
with a kiss to the stars*
Adding and calculating
up all the money
You felt all ruffled
by his words
Like a herd of
50 shades
Ratios keep

Clean mint mento
Looking higher than
her hem-line
The Cosmos pure number
Pure vanilla

All critical

I cant get no
satisfaction but I try

((Robin Fly))

The Rolling Stones
  band goes platinum

Why am I aging
Ruffle all the details
Fitting model dress
The news pages
Beneficial let's
be decent
With money
__$$$ potential
No big fat zero
The ground Zero

My Twin Towers

Was built
with love
The most
decent
grounds
for families
and heroes
Wormhole or
the black hole
He's definitely inside
the Man-hole
Love and
marriage,
not ready for the
baby carriage

The decent guy in the
tool shed garage
the most grudges

like misery loves
Ruffles  details of ridges
And please when
you love
somebody
Be decent well
mannered

Adding up all the
ruffles on her gown
Being decent is hard to do but if so put on your ruffle dress he may be at work with his duffle bag and another person on the plane getting jet lag. But that's ok just ruffle your charm my way

The day comes but once a year
For pranksters, jokers and the fools
To bring a twisted kind of cheer
By breaking all the rules

Doughnuts filled with mayo
Is just one of many things
With googly-eyed potatoes
Hiding in the wings

Masquerading caramel onions
And toothpaste oreos
Fun with food corruptions
Are there for your dispose

Mento ice-cube bombs for soda
Clear nail polish painted soap
Anecdotal numbered quotas
A high jinks kaleidoscope

Pranks and hoaxes they like to play
On unsuspecting fellows
Deeming themselves as attache's
To the 'April Fools' bellows

Sais-tu ce qui obsède mes pensées ?
Ce n'est ni Lord Invader, ni Sam Manning,
Ni Cyril Monrose, Charlie Parker, ou Louis Armstrong.
Non, pas Jack Sneed, ni Ernest Rangling,
Pas même le Blue Glaze Mento Band ou Phil Madison.
Je m'arrête là, car il y a une seule chose qui m’obsède :
Les ****. Oui, les orifices profonds, mystérieux, éternels.

Peux-tu comprendre cela ? Jamais, je crois,
À moins que tu voies ce que je vois :
Le trou caché, l’ombre sacrée.
Ce n'est pas de la philosophie, non.
C'est un mouvement, un appel viscéral.
Reggae, mento, calypso, jazz—
Tout converge vers le même centre.
Un vortex rond, l'essence de l'univers.

Sly Mongoose ? Ce n'est pas une simple chanson.
C'est une ode à ces sombres profondeurs,
Comme mes Frères Karamazov, leurs âmes torturées.
Aliocha, Ivan, Dmitri, tous liés
Par un désir secret de percer les mystères.

C'est l'histoire d'une mangouste sournoise,
Qui vole des poules pour mieux les contempler.
Elle cache tout dans son veston,
Fuyant la Jamaïque, poursuivie par des chiens
Qui ne savent pas que son véritable trésor
N'est pas la chair, mais la forme.
Sly Mongoose, l’obsédé, comme moi.
Il est malin, vicieux—et derrière chaque mouvement,
Toujours, un trou béant d'ombre.
IF YOUR"E TOO DUMB FOR FRENCH: HERE'S FOX NEWS!:
(enjoy your brain slurry)

My Jealous One, My Only, My Ultimate
Do you know what obsesses my thoughts?
It’s not Lord Invader, nor Sam Manning,
Not Cyril Monrose, Charlie Parker, or Louis Armstrong.
Not Jack Sneed, not Ernest Rangling,
Not even Blue Glaze Mento Band or Phil Madison.
I’ll stop here, because only one thing consumes me:
Buttholes. Yes, those deep, mysterious, eternal orifices.

Can you understand that? Never, I think,
Unless you see what I see:
The hidden hole, the sacred shadow.
This isn’t philosophy, no.
It’s movement, a visceral call.
Reggae, mento, calypso, jazz—
All converge toward the same center.
A round vortex, the essence of the universe.

Sly Mongoose? It’s not just a song.
It’s an ode to those shadowed depths,
Like my Brothers Karamazov, their tortured souls.
Alyosha, Ivan, Dmitri, all bound
By a secret desire to pierce the mysteries.

It’s the story of a sly mongoose,
Stealing chickens just to admire them.
Hiding them in his vest,
Fleeing Jamaica, chased by dogs
Who don’t know that his real treasure
Isn’t the flesh, but the form.
Sly Mongoose, the obsessed one, like me.
He is cunning, vicious—and behind every move,
Always, a yawning shadowed hole.

This world mysterious and vague
Hints and guesses and hints

The goal falls short of the reach
I eat the Mento mints

The fear is always close by
I fight and walk and play

The fear is always close by
But so is the daily Way

— The End —
