To Mr Eastwood with Love

Весело вспоминая Аквариум

The Outlaw Josey Wales once entered a town
When humanity was still kind.
Jersey Boys got out four seasons somehow.
In the square  there were flowers pined.
All that was so non-natural peaceful
Just like in movies when they show a wait.
The tower clock was still striking a noon
Of some indefinite long past date.

Dirty Harry was chewing a blade of grass
Looking thoughtfully around the stock.
He knew that the Mule saw his reflection in glass
And heard some artificial knock.
Folks still believed him as though he were their dad.
They knew who was to solve any case.
He was known as the one who had sudden impact
When there wasn't a need to race.

I remember the volunteers going first.
I'll tell you their names so far -
One drifter, Tuko The Ugly he was
and Sister Sarah – a famous filmstar.
The Man With No Name was the third in that queue
But he was over twelve hundred years old.
And squinting his eyes like Clint Eastwood
Joe Kidd was watching them go.
 
Paint your wagon where spying  eagles dare
Cross that Mystic River, take Pink Cadillac,
The 15:17 to Paris, catch up with Kelly's Heroes.
Escadrille Of Lafayette should be used as a hashtag.
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot changed original route
To the Midnight Garden far from City Heat
Neither Coogan nor J.Edgar was really much helpful
To break off Tightrope. Gran Torino suits it.

They weren't supposed to wait and desire
For a fistful of dollars to bring.
Bad riders are always in the line of fire,
And good ones are as breezy as a wing.
When a dust cloud flew over the bridges of a county
Where houses stood apart
An old Macho cried amazingly: "Bounty!
We've gone both crazy and smart!"

Pale Rider jumped off his horse and stood near.
He staggered abrupt and fell back.
He was led to White Hunter and it became clear
That our Preacher was glad.
Pale Rider whispered through his teeth: "What I've seen there
I can tell you about till year-end.
But no one tells you where Changeling is,
And where Mo Cuishle has got outlet."
               
For someone who's playing Misty for hunting
There's someone escaped from the brig.
Every Rookie's like a tree on top of a mountain
With miraculous Bird on its twig.
Bird is out of sanctions, it flies upwards and high.
It's not under anyone's will to command.
The Moon and the Sun rose at once in your eyes.
Now it's somewhat I can understand.
 
Maybe  Jurors in trial and  Snipers who fire
Are the only who know the truth.
All we know is Absolute Power's not typed
And True Crime isn't read in news.
And that Perfect World may be titled Malpaso
Or may be Unforgiven's mile
But none of the Fathers who raised our flags there
Mailed letters home from that isle.

Thus there's no reason to cry over trouble
With the curve or feel the beguiled.
We can now be saved by the broken hearts
'Cause we haven't been saved by the mind.
But a heart needs the Earth and the Heavens,
It can't exist as a cowboy in space.
As Invictus once said when he saw it by chance:
 "Hereafter we'll be changed by this place."
