"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!!"

OTHER WORLDS
Age deals cards the young have never seen as yet
There
is no repetition of experience.Only remembering
(and
it gathers random data like desultory selected edited Kodak moments
you
store some in books/most are lost and do not wish to be repeated
every
body knows you can not glow back(but you can!-in dreams
that
gild each memory with an aura it did not have in the hard ship of rowing
up
this
takes time-the persistence of forgetfulness shields us
If
everything happened at once(as it does in Spirit Worlds-
where
there is no separation nor sequence /only simultaneity
awareness
would be universally shared-like internal empathic internets.
We
find it easier to fog forget /then have to repeat repeat repeat until
the
pin of pain reminds us not to pass this way again.Life exists-
in stages
and pages and plays and movies,books,art ,speech
It
lasts as long as we can sustain it.we must breathe,and
move,work,play
Share
these most human processes until the grave
separates
us into ashes and bones,memories that others must carry home
like
jars of relatives upon their mantelpiece.We remind them of what comes
next.
