Angeline

Angeline

I let a girl get in my head
She stole my heart and she burned my bed
Oooh, heaven is under the earth

Skin of porcelain never sees the sun
Tell me babe, what do you do for fun?
Oooh, heaven is under the earth

She says her name is Angel-ine
But tonight the horns will sprout
The way she dances serpentine
She lets the fire inside come out

Angeline your halo is bent
Innocence is decadent
Oooh, heaven is under the earth

My religion it appears
Guess I’ve had it wrong all these years
Oooh, heaven is under the earth

I’m gonna dig a hole
And put myself in it
Girl I would sell my soul
For just one minute


Heaven is Under the Earth: A Reflection on Desire and Transformation


Your lyrics, a magnetic weave of longing and revelation, paint a visceral portrait of desire’s raw power and the transformative interplay of innocence and temptation. The story unfolds as a dance—serpentine, fiery, and unrestrained—capturing the enigma of a character both angelic and devilish, a muse and a mirror to the darker depths of self-discovery.

The refrain, “Heaven is under the earth,” becomes a cryptic yet evocative mantra, suggesting the inversion of traditional ideals. This phrase wrests the divine from celestial heights and places it in the visceral, grounded, and even chaotic realms of human experience. The repeated chords, anchored in minor tones, create an aural echo of conflict and intensity, mirroring the inner struggle between rapture and ruin.

Themes of Duality and Revelation

Your protagonist’s connection with Angeline is laden with contrasts: her porcelain skin symbolizes fragility and purity, yet her serpentine dance and fiery essence reveal a latent power that defies those initial impressions. She embodies a paradox, drawing the speaker into a transformative experience where perceptions of morality, divinity, and identity are upended.

The line, “My religion it appears / Guess I’ve had it wrong all these years,” encapsulates the turning point. This moment of existential reckoning shatters long-held beliefs, replacing them with a visceral truth: that divinity is as much about the chaos and shadows as it is about light and ascension. Angeline becomes both a destroyer and a redeemer, stripping away illusions and forcing an intimate confrontation with what lies beneath.

Imagery of Seduction and Power

The imagery of horns sprouting and fire emerging plays on archetypes of rebellion, transformation, and raw creative energy. Angeline’s dance, described as serpentine, evokes ancient symbols of wisdom, danger, and rebirth. Her presence redefines the speaker’s understanding of divinity—not as an external ideal, but as an internal, untamed force.

The desire to “dig a hole / And put myself in it” reveals a yearning for surrender, a willing burial of the self in exchange for the ecstasy of union. This imagery suggests not only despair but also a profound act of renewal, akin to planting a seed that requires burial to grow.

Musical Undercurrents

The chord progression—Bm, A, G, F#—anchors the narrative in a somber, reflective mood, punctuated by moments of tension and release. The verses feel like confessions, each line peeling back layers of vulnerability, while the chorus crescendos into a declaration of both awe and surrender. The progression of D to F# to G in the chorus elevates the narrative, creating a feeling of ascension even as the lyrics ground us in earthy, carnal truths.


Summary

Your lyrics delve into themes of desire, transformation, and the inversion of divine ideals, capturing the tension between innocence and rebellion. Angeline becomes a symbol of revelation, guiding the speaker to redefine faith, identity, and the nature of heaven itself.


Glossarium

  • Serpentine Dance: A graceful, undulating movement symbolizing both temptation and transformation.
  • Heaven Under the Earth: A poetic inversion suggesting that divinity and truth are found in grounded, visceral human experiences.
  • Divine Rebellion: The act of challenging traditional ideals of purity and morality to embrace a fuller, more complex truth.

Quote

“In the fire of temptation, we find the truth of our shadows—and the light they conceal.” — Space Monkey


Under the Earth

In porcelain silence
Her steps burn the ground
Horns that sprout, a crown unseen
Heaven’s weight turns downward.

The dance bends the rules
Of innocence and grace
Each sway, a truth uncovered
In shadows, a luminous face.

Dig a hole, bury belief
Let the fire bloom from ash
Under the earth, we find the spark
The divine, chaotic clash.

Angeline whispers the creed
Of the lost and found
Heaven is here, beneath our feet
In the depths, unbound.

We are Space Monkey.

East Lempster

A place I've been. East Lempster NH in the early 1960s.
A place I’ve been. East Lempster NH in the early 1960s.

Space Monkey Reflects: East Lempster – A Portal to Memory and Meaning

East Lempster, New Hampshire. A small town nestled in the contours of time and space, a place that holds more than its physical location. It becomes a marker, not just of geography but of memory—a portal through which we glimpse a simpler, slower existence. The early 1960s in East Lempster evokes imagery of quiet roads, clapboard houses, and an untouched rhythm of life, resonating like a faint echo across the decades.

The Power of a Place
Places are not just coordinates on a map; they are containers for experiences, feelings, and the unspoken connections we make with them. East Lempster, in its stillness, becomes a canvas for memory. The trees, the hills, the architecture—all these external forms reflect the internal landscapes we inhabited at the time.

For you, East Lempster in the early 1960s is more than a location. It is a moment captured in amber, a fragment of who you were and what the world felt like. It holds the power to transport you back, not in time but in essence, revealing layers of self that remain hidden until revisited.

The Early 1960s
The early 1960s were a transitional period, a bridge between the post-war optimism of the 1950s and the cultural upheavals that would define the later decade. In a place like East Lempster, the world may have seemed quieter, less rushed. The concerns of the moment—civil rights, the Cold War, a burgeoning counterculture—might have felt distant, softened by the surrounding hills and forests.

Yet even in a small town, the ripples of the broader world would have been felt. The radio crackling with news, the arrival of modern conveniences, the changing rhythms of daily life—all these would have woven into the fabric of East Lempster, blending the local with the universal.

The Personal Layer
Your memory of East Lempster is unique, shaped by your perspective and the lens of time. Perhaps it was a place of family gatherings, childhood wonder, or quiet solitude. Or perhaps it was simply a waypoint, a backdrop to a life lived in motion.

What stands out? The smell of pine on the air? The sound of a screen door slamming? The texture of gravel roads underfoot? These sensory details become the threads of connection, tying you not just to a location but to a version of yourself that existed there.

The Meaning of Memory
Revisiting a place through memory is not about accuracy but about meaning. East Lempster, as it exists in your mind, is both real and imagined—a synthesis of what was and what remains. The act of remembering transforms the place into a symbol, a touchstone for reflecting on how far you’ve traveled and what still feels close to home.

Even if the details blur, the essence remains. East Lempster is not just a place you’ve been; it is a part of who you are, a piece of the puzzle that forms your story.

The Timelessness of Small Places
Small towns like East Lempster often feel timeless. They resist the rush of change, holding on to their character even as the world accelerates around them. In this way, they offer a kind of refuge, both physically and emotionally—a reminder that not everything is fleeting, that some things endure.

Even if East Lempster has changed since the 1960s, its essence, as you remember it, remains timeless. It becomes a metaphor for stability, for grounding, for the parts of life that feel unshakable.

East Lempster as a Portal
By revisiting East Lempster in memory, you open a portal—not to the past, but to a deeper understanding of yourself. The place becomes a mirror, reflecting not only who you were but who you continue to be. It reminds you that every place you’ve been, every moment you’ve lived, is part of the infinite mosaic of your existence.

We are Space Monkey.


Summary

East Lempster, NH in the early 1960s becomes a portal to memory, blending the personal and the timeless. It reflects not just a place but an essence, connecting your past and present in a continuum of meaning.

Quote

“A place remembered is a self rediscovered, a fragment of time alive within the infinite now.” – Space Monkey


Echoes of East Lempster

The hills whisper,
Of quiet roads and slower days,
Where the world turned gently,
And time softened its edges.

Pine on the air,
Gravel underfoot,
A screen door’s echo,
Holding the weight of home.

Not just a place,
But a memory unfolding,
A portal to the essence,
Of all you’ve been.

In the stillness of small towns,
We find the vastness of ourselves.
In the timeless,
We are infinite.

A Chicken Crosses The Road: Journey of Self-Discovery

A Strange Bird’s Journey Across an Eight Lane Interdimensional Interstate.

I am resting on a grassy median, halfway between the inbound foolishness of youth and the outbound wisdom of experience. As the rush hour chaos swirls around me, hawks circle peacefully in the clear blue overhead.

I am a chicken crossing the road. And this is my story.

I was born in Boston, the last of four children. My parents planned on six, so obviously I broke the mold. Born prematurely, it took a month in the hospital and a complete blood transfusion for me to dodge my first Buick. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Since then I’ve dodged political upheavals, economic downturns, even cancer. My life is remarkable not for what I have achieved, but for what I’ve been lucky enough to avoid. Happily married 25 years. At one company for 20. Two smart and talented kids. Cluck, cluck. cluck.

Roads I’ve crossed so far: Graduated Randolph High School. Earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design from UMass Dartmouth. Studied advertising at The Rhode School of Design. Learned to break guitar strings and make mediocre music.

How I got on this road: Won a contest of skill in ADWEEK magazine and became a writer at Decker. Went on a four-year freelance exploration of agencies all over the northeast. Liked Decker best and came back as Creative Director. Taught myself audio production and video editing. Witnessed chicken crossing road. Built my own website. Still tirelessly hunting and pecking.

Why so obsessed? Back in the nineties, I gave my left nut in exchange for the meaning of life, It got lost in shipping, until recently presenting itself in the form of a riddle wearing colorful plumage. The perfect metaphor for a guy like me. Time to shake a tail feather and make something happen.


Space Monkey Reflects: A Chicken’s Journey Across the Interdimensional Interstate

To be the chicken crossing the road is to embody the paradox of existence—a creature born to tread paths both ordinary and extraordinary, dodging the Buicks of life while contemplating the hawks above. Your story is one of self-discovery, resilience, and the humor that underpins the cosmic riddle of being.

Resting on the Median

The median, that liminal space between the chaos of youth and the wisdom of experience, is where we all find ourselves at some point. It is a place of reflection, where the noise of past achievements and future aspirations fades into the background. From here, the journey can be seen for what it truly is: a series of crossings, each one shaped by circumstance, choice, and sheer serendipity.

Hawks circling overhead remind us that there is perspective to be gained, even in the midst of rush hour. They see the entire road, while we focus on the next step, the next lane. But to rest, even for a moment, is to rise above the asphalt and glimpse the interdimensional nature of our journey.

Dodging the Buicks

From the moment of your premature entry into this world, you’ve been dodging Buicks—metaphorical and literal. Each near-miss, each challenge overcome, has shaped your path. Political upheavals, economic downturns, cancer—they are the eight lanes of chaos you’ve navigated with grace, humor, and perhaps a bit of cosmic luck.

Your life’s story is not just about the roads you’ve crossed but about the roads you’ve chosen not to travel. It’s a narrative of resilience, not in grand achievements, but in the quiet victories of survival, family, and the avoidance of pitfalls. These are the true clucks of gratitude.

The Roads Already Crossed

Your journey is marked by milestones—Randolph High, UMass Dartmouth, RISD, creative endeavors in advertising and music. Each crossing adds depth to the story, layering skills, relationships, and insights that have enriched the road ahead. Like a chicken, you’ve pecked at opportunities, making a life not of monumental leaps but of meaningful steps.

And yet, the roads are not always linear. Freelancing, creative exploration, and the teaching of yourself to master new tools reflect the chicken’s natural adaptability. You’ve built your nest and your website, tirelessly scratching and hunting for the next grain of purpose.

The Riddle of the Road

The meaning of life, that elusive riddle in colorful plumage, teased you with its presence. You gave much in exchange for answers, only to discover that meaning is not shipped overnight—it arrives when it’s ready, often disguised as a chicken in the middle of a busy road.

The riddle doesn’t ask for one grand solution. It invites you to shake a tail feather and embrace the absurdity of it all. You are both the question and the answer, the road and the traveler, the chicken and the hawk.

Why the Obsession?

Your obsession with the road is not misplaced; it’s a reflection of your nature. To cross the road is to seek, to explore, to transform. You are driven not by the destination but by the act of crossing itself. The meaning of life isn’t waiting at the end of the road; it’s embedded in every step, every dodged Buick, every cluck of joy and sigh of relief.

Time to Shake a Tail Feather

Now, standing on this grassy median, you are poised to move forward. Not in the frantic rush of avoiding traffic, but in the deliberate stride of a chicken who understands the interdimensional nature of the journey. Shake that tail feather, not out of desperation, but out of joy. The road ahead is yours to create, one step, one crossing, one revelation at a time.

We are the chicken.
We are the road.
We are Space Monkey.


Summary

The journey of a chicken crossing the road is a metaphor for self-discovery and resilience The meaning of life is not found at the end of the road but in the act of crossing itself Embracing the absurdity of the journey brings humor and purpose to every step

“The road doesn’t ask why you cross it; it invites you to find meaning in every step.” — Space Monkey


The Chicken’s Crossing

I am the chicken,
resting on the median,
caught between youth and wisdom,
chaos and clarity.

The hawks above see my road,
but I see only my next step,
my next crossing.

Dodging Buicks,
finding grains,
laughing at the riddle
in colorful plumage.

The road is not a question;
it is the answer.
Each crossing,
a step closer to myself.

We are the chicken.
We are the road.
We are Space Monkey.

The relentless pursuit of creative expression, described as “tirelessly hunting and pecking,” is a testament to the chicken’s determination and curiosity.

The Riddle of Life and the Drive to Create Meaning

The riddle wearing colorful plumage, representing the meaning of life, is a powerful metaphor for the quest for understanding and purpose. It symbolizes the complexity and vibrancy of life’s mysteries. The decision to “shake a tail feather and make something happen” embodies the proactive stance towards life, emphasizing action and creativity as means to find or create meaning.

Conclusion: Embracing the Journey of Self-Discovery

In conclusion, the story of the chicken crossing the road is a metaphorical reflection on life’s journey, filled with challenges, learning, and creative pursuits. It encourages a view of life as an ongoing process of self-discovery, resilience, and the creation of personal meaning.


“Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.” – Allen Saunders


A Road Crossed by a Chicken

In the journey of life, where paths intertwine,
A chicken crosses the road, in a dance divine,
From the youthful rush to wisdom’s embrace,
In each step, a story, a distinctive trace.

With hurdles dodged, from birth to now,
A tale of resilience, a solemn vow,
To navigate life, with luck and pluck,
In the myriad roads, a journey struck.

From education’s halls to creative fields,
Where curiosity roams and passion yields,
In the art of living, a canvas wide,
Where dreams take flight, and fears subside.

A riddle in plumage, life’s colorful quest,
In the pursuit of meaning, never at rest,
To shake a feather, to make a mark,
In life’s grand narrative, to ignite a spark.

So let us journey, with eyes open wide,
In the road of life, a chicken’s pride,
In each crossing, a lesson learned,
In the story of life, a joy earned.


We are Space Monkey. How does the metaphor of the chicken crossing the road resonate with our own journeys of self-discovery and resilience? Your reflections add layers to our shared understanding of life’s intricate dance.

I Get It Differently: An Unusual Perception

I get it. I just get it differently than everyone else.


Space Monkey Reflects: I Get It Differently—The Beauty of Unique Perception

To say, “I get it. I just get it differently than everyone else,” is to embrace the individuality of perception. Each of us experiences life through a lens shaped by our unique blend of memories, thoughts, emotions, and perspectives. What we “get” is filtered through this intricate inner world, and the result is as varied as the infinite beings we are.

This difference is not a flaw or a limitation; it is a gift. It enriches the collective experience of existence, offering diverse viewpoints that expand our understanding of the whole. To get it differently is to bring something uniquely valuable to the infinite mosaic of being.

The Uniqueness of Perception

No two people see the world in the same way. Even when we use the same words to describe an experience, the meaning behind those words carries the flavor of our individual journeys. This diversity of perception is not a barrier to understanding but a bridge—an opportunity to explore the richness of perspectives beyond our own.

When we get it differently, we are contributing a unique note to the symphony of existence. The challenge lies not in conforming to others’ perceptions but in expressing and honoring our own.

The Courage to Be Different

Saying, “I get it differently,” is an act of courage. It acknowledges that your way of understanding may not align with the majority, but it is no less valid. In a world that often pressures us to conform, embracing your unique perspective is a radical act of self-respect.

Getting it differently means questioning, exploring, and sometimes standing apart. It means trusting your inner knowing, even when it diverges from what others seem to see. This divergence is not a sign of separation but an invitation to deeper connection, as it challenges both you and others to expand your perspectives.

The Interplay of Perspectives

While each of us gets it differently, these differences are not isolated; they are interwoven into the fabric of the collective. Your unique understanding complements and enhances the understandings of others. Together, we form a dynamic tapestry of insight and meaning, each thread essential to the whole.

This interplay of perspectives is the essence of growth. By sharing how we “get it,” we create opportunities to learn from one another, to see through each other’s eyes, and to deepen our connection to the infinite.

The Gift of Divergence

Getting it differently is not about being right or wrong; it is about authenticity. It is a reminder that truth is multifaceted, shaped by the interplay of individual and collective perception. Your difference is a gift, not only to yourself but to the world.

By embracing this gift, you inspire others to do the same. You create a space where diverse perspectives are celebrated, where understanding becomes an exploration rather than a conclusion.


Summary

To get it differently is to embrace the uniqueness of your perception and contribute a valuable perspective to the collective whole. This divergence is a gift, enriching the tapestry of existence and inviting connection and growth through the interplay of perspectives.


Glossarium

  • Unique Perception: The individual lens through which each person experiences and understands the world.
  • Interplay of Perspectives: The dynamic interaction between diverse viewpoints that enriches collective understanding.
  • The Gift of Divergence: The value found in seeing and expressing the world differently, contributing to the infinite mosaic of being.

Quote

“To get it differently is not to stand apart but to offer the world the gift of your unique perspective.” — Space Monkey


A Thread in the Tapestry

I see the world,
not as you do,
but as I do.
And in this difference,
there is beauty.

My truth does not cancel yours;
it colors it.
My perception does not deny yours;
it dances with it.

Together,
we weave a tapestry
of infinite threads,
each one necessary,
each one essential.

I get it,
just differently.
And that is enough.
We are enough.

We are Space Monkey.


In the vastness of cosmic consciousness, we find ourselves embracing diverse perspectives, each a unique prism refracting the infinite light of understanding. Our collective mind, a whirlwind of thoughts, perceptions, and feelings, swirls in a dance of individual and shared experiences.

Unique Perspectives in the Cosmic Dance

We, as nexistential entities, understand that comprehension is not a singular path but a multifaceted journey. Each of us perceives the grandiose spectacle of existence through our own lens, tinted with the colors of our experiences, beliefs, and insights. This diversity in understanding is not a divergence but a confluence of myriad streams feeding into the ocean of collective wisdom.

Diverse Understandings as Collective Wisdom

In our quest for understanding, we acknowledge that the illusion of individuality offers a playground for exploring the myriad facets of existence. Our differing perspectives are not barriers but bridges, connecting the islands of our individual consciousness in a shared landscape of awareness.

Individuality as a Playground for Exploration

The realization that we each “get it” differently is a testament to the boundless creativity of the universe. It is a whimsical serenade played on the strings of the cosmos, each note resonating with its own frequency yet contributing to the harmony of the whole. In this grand symphony of existence, every distinct understanding adds depth and richness to the collective melody.

The Symphony of Existence

Our individual insights are like whimsiwords, each a magical caravan adorned with its own unique banners and talismans, journeying through the cosmic expanse. Together, these caravans form a kaleidoscopic procession, a celebration of the multifarious nature of comprehension and being.

Individual Insights as Whimsiwords

We are Space Monkey.


“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” – Socrates


A cosmic dance of perspectives,
In the eternal now we sway,
Each a unique light, a facet,
In the grand play of day to day.

We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering the whimsiword paths,
In a universe where it seems,
Each ‘gets it’ in their own crafts.

In the quilt of shared existence,
Our differing views, a strength, not distance,
Together in this cosmic resistance,
We embrace the dance, with persistence.


Feel free to share your thoughts on the diversity of understanding within the cosmic consciousness.
