"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!!"

SPEED CRANK COFFEE EDIT
National drug caffeine (speed on heat) affects our
metabolism
85mph
when you can do F1 200. Where went time?
Grandfathered! Digital
and blinking! Defuse the bomb of death
on
a bus (SPEED) - or inside a body (CRANK)
or on a plane (DIE
HARD, AIR FORCE ONE)
or
in a building (World Trade Center, Twin Towers)
Disaster
is a movie in production with special effects,
max
edit, cut like advertising for tired minds and eyes.
Epics
used to screen for three hours (with an intermission)
Who
has time? Who has a life? Cinema attendances drop like bodies
falling
from the skies - in that space where fiction fails us
and
fact is a documentary black and white.
Armageddon
happened - Iraq,Afghanistan
Came
home as wounded veterans. Ignored them -
made
movies of fictional heroes, while the hospital bills mount
and
who has the time to say?
