on the isle of corfu.
millions expected to be there
or be fair. know justice, know war,
no justice, no war. all sorts
of cool bands will be there,
including the libyan lollipops.
they challenge osama bin laden
and his People to be there
and drink lemonade, no sweetener
with them. and have cod liver oil
contests. see who can down
the most. halloween being
the most sacred night of the
year. saints of scarlet
dare to be there. remembering
those burned for witchcraft
and the like. or for looking odd.
or being dressed different.
or thinking different. or for
being rather ugly in many ways.
or for having really no sex appeal
at all. all hallows eve. remembering
those who died, are dying or ever
will die. near where the battle of lepanto
took place in 1517 a.d. a whole armada
went up against el gran capitan gonsalvo
de cordoba in the almost the biggest naval
and land battle in world history. all of
christendom hung in balance. don quixote
or miguel de cervantes was severely wounded
in the battle, and wrote don quixote as a way
to recover from his horrible war experiences.
it all seemed so glorious and romantic
when he had heard about war in tales
or read it in books, or saw of it in plays.
the real thing was totally horrifying.
not charming or romantic one bit.
and no one came to cheer him
when he got home. he came
alone to no one. and then he wrote 'don quixote'.
tilting at windmills.
