"Thom the World poet, is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearences with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

SHE FORGOT SHE WAS DEAD
...and rose up from her bed/perambulated peremptorily
connected
with all she had known before/found it inadequate
went
back to deep REM sleep. Fox fire
HE
FORGOT HE WAS ALIVE
Retired.Yet
now the work flows in!
Unincomed, energetic, visionary
with multimedia skills
He
would multitask with the best of them - create 5D experiences in a 4G
world!
HE
FORGOT ummm..what WAS that?
SHE
DID NOT FORGET
...to
perform silent service in the empty room of words
to
fill all flowers with candles and Light
to
unlock her heart each night
so
it might go out and embrace random starlight
HE
REMEMBERS TOO MUCH
Touch, laughter, goodwill, company
His
family think he is too old to know
He
knows what they think
BENEFICIAL
FORGETTING
Epidemic
Alzheimer - sweeping tides of details clean
like
alien abductions/so you will not remember anything
Starships
arrive to take your mind away
