SOMEWHERE...?
is a book i wrote over 7 years from 1981-1988 while living the life of the struggling writer on Cape Cod...writing it was basically how i taught myself how to write...the original idea came to me in a flash one sunny summer day laying on a secluded beach in Quissett we all call The Nob...it was just after high noon flat calm on Buzzards Bay & low tide...which totally exposed the rocky beach...i was laying on my towel with something over my eyes trying to catch up on some much needed sleep from enjoying the summer night life the eve before... listening to the occasional small ripple of a wave lap the shore...suddenly this first phrase of the piece came into mind & i grabbed my pen & pad i'd gotten in the habit of carrying both to see myself as a writer, & to communicate to the universe my willingness to receive inspiration 24/7...as that first line came...i saw it was big...i saw that each word could be illustrated &/or paired with photography... i saw it was posters & postcards & buttons & tshirts...i knew it was big & i didn't want to think it would take 7 years to complete...so i drew back from the vision & just focus on receiving the transmission...just then this toddler fell down that was playing at the waters edge where the beach was strewn with exposed rocks...in the quiet of that beach his scream really sounded out...his mother rushed over to him...& i wrote...& wrote & wrote for 3 days strait...by Christmas 1982 i had completed the first 100 page text only version ...that had several different pieces on a page...after that i had the notion to rewrite it again giving each piece enough room...it's own page...over the next 5 years as i was reworking all the work i already had written i also was writing a stack of new stuff ...so on my desk there were actually two piles...one of the rewritten work from the 100 page version & another stack of new work in the full page format...finally when the day came to put the two together...it was around 600 pages...except for the occasional page that made it into a painting or BLUE MUSE cartoon over the years it remains to this day unpublished...the following is a bit of a tease...some of it is written here from memory & some of it i was just inspired to write anew & it isn't in the book...yet..
somewhere
iz a song a song being sung laughter loosed with head held high & flung back..
somwhere a child fallz a mother rushez over to soothe the savage woundz of life being spent . .
somewhere all are asleep dreaming & dreamless stretched out yet restless alone yet with armz about one another crowding in to some near desperate embrace to share the darkness or the promise of coming lite . .
somewhere the road seemz long the mountain high the distance endless & then here you are & there you must go....
somewhere are those whoze destiny'z the sky....
somewhere we sing softly to ourselves in hopes of finding peace in our distractionz..
& somewhere the world waitz on tippy toez to hear our next word to see what we'll do next to share a part of our journey there into triumph or we wake up from the day dream dreaming it all to ourselves instead perhaps no closer or no wiser than before but a little later now or the gift of angelz firmly in memoryz grasp we have exactly the peace we've been searching for now & look out world..
somewhere the answer begz the question for lack of a better love . .
somewhere the myth of the stranger strangles the populace as the mind behind the media kisses the great nothing in the boot of roses gingerly nicking each thorn in succession creating itz brainz out as somewhere some one thinkz simply or kindly of them selves left out side the fold of time the immortals somewhere the greatest challenge facing the world today iz for each one of us to remain present & conscious within our own personal fieldz.. to remember who we really are where we actually come from why we came here & where it is we're going to end up... ? somewhere silence enterz in sacred & conscious itz mother/loverscent beckoning to kiss us full on the lipz but itz patience infinite awaitiiiiiiiiiiiiiing our choosing in our finiky persnikity wayz to turn from our myriad of distractionz & illusionz & giving hungerly gleefully & willingly of the depths of our undivided attention that we each might drink drawing deep our fill as if we could every be so filled & be in a momentz instance truely changed forever... somewhere burp excuse me.... somewhere the end of the world newz comez too late to do any good or iz postponed another moment... somewhere sex iznt enough i mean good jungle boogy s e x iznt enough i love you iznt enough money wealth 5 tonz of gold barz iznt enough to keep us .. here somewhere iz joy complete gazing out the window watching the spring walking down the street into timez version of tomorrow pages turning into the wind pages turning into dust on the wind somewhere life times find there own preciousness before being completely forgotten az a skull fragment only pieced together after the fact to be wondered at and pondered over where in the long chart of timelinez do human remainz fit in the fossil record scratched & skipping through the doorz of earth... somewhere she standz in her beauty and in her age looking so ready to burst beyond the constraints of this her world only she wont just yet she's not done with him with her with them and their kids and their needz but she has stepped out there on that curb off the curb actually & though she doesnt know it yet there really iz no going back into the box back into the wrapper.. we love you iznt enough to keep her.. somewhere a young man walkz up and down the beach day after day mumbling to himself screaming at the air scaring the fecal matter out the bowel aperture of the nativez giving one pause to wonder is he crazy or gifted is he seeing something we're all missing in our civilized frequencyz of hurry iz he picking up the simple vibrationz we've left all over the world the litter of our psykic noise unconscious as we are to the remificationz of our thoughts being real thingz walking up and down up and down the beach he tripps over and over civilization.. somewhere the pain goes away as the seditive takes hold & the child screaming is soothed to sleep and the love of the higher thingz returnz & somewhere they sneek out to see one another live... |
somewhere the road seemz long the mountain high the distance endless & then here you are & there you must go....
somewhere are those whoze destiny'z the sky....
somewhere we sing softly to ourselves in hopes of finding peace in our distractionz..
& somewhere the world waitz on tippy toez to hear our next word to see what well do next to share a part of our journey there into triumph or we wake up from the day dream dreaming it all to ourselves instead perhaps no closer or no wizer than before but a little later now or the gift of angelz firmly in memoryz grasp we have exactly the peace we've been searching for now & look out world..

somewhere the myth of the stranger strangles the populace as the mind behind the media kisses the great nothing in the boot of roses gingerly nicking each thorn in succession creating itz brainz out as somewhere some one thinkz simply or kindly of them selves left out side the fold of time the immortals somewhere the greatest challenge facing the world today iz for each one of us to remain present & conscious within our own personal fieldz.. to remember who we really are where we actually come from why we came here & where it is we're going to end up... ?
