"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 appearances 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!!"

Bad News Bingo
Fuel pump in her truck went out
so
she cannot get work
so
she cannot go to the funeral of her 22 year old cousin
who
hanged himself in his room
because
he could not relate
so
her family is giving her a hard time
and
her back is out from hard work
and
her world is falling in on her
so
she brings a christmas card in january
and
she smiles ruefully-releasing everything that happened
before
love season in february
i
almost believe her(after all-we all love stories
the
happy ending to this one?
she
is creating better moments
separating
sheep from goats
editing
her own home movies/so she
can
sing of love in february!
