"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!!"

PERSISTENCE OF FORGETFULNESS
Death tapped @my door(again)last night
i
told him to GET AWAY!he had to wait(like all the others)
Winter
bone cold dis-ease-folk give up-decease
while
we who flow know more than not to resist
Sleeping
deeper now.Dreams replace daily life.
More
real than 3D.Darkness creates depth and spaces between us
Bare
stripped trees and winter gardens.There he goes-
gathering
up those tottering ,collecting the falling
Too
many assent to their demise.They release their hold
and
are last seen posted on FACEBOOK.How delete?
email
is easy .Websites go derelict in hyperspace
Yet
-your face-stares out of FACEBOOK ad infinitum
You
will live there forever!Aren't we lucky we forget?
