"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!!"

CHATTER BOX
TV stops us-big screen/big dream/boom box soundtrack
Radio
hammers like a dulcimer community
Refrigerator
hums(does it know the words?
Every
thing has a song.Machines bless regularity
Buses
grind schedules.Trains are on track
Even
trees creak with an elder branch
When
i wake,i stop and slow.Put on the day like an overcoat
Morning
has few words(between the worlds)
Afternoon
slows down like a turtleneck
By
evening,a moon meditation
Then
i hear stars laughing/moon leading them on
in
a sing-a -long!Dream On!
