a lonely misfit saught love wherever he could find it.
the women of his home town spurned him so he found exotic love further afield and followed it wherever it went.
after years of heartbreak and homesickness the misfit went to live in London where misfits fitted and to which everything in the world was eventually drawn.
ironically the love that finally found him was from his own country, his home town, his childhood.
they wed, but London life ate away at the soul of the woman who in turn started to eat away at the soul of the misfit.
cars, houses, love, career nor children could sate the void in the woman's life and her increasing demands made the misfit a shell, the puppet of his new family, a drone.
when one becomes so tied down that any attempt to get free would uproot and damage the lives of others there is no direction in which to escape except inward.
it is in my dreams that I truly come alive.
it is in music that my dreams have expression.
here I am free
