"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!!"

I AM A PAPER MAN
whole forests provide my text books.
i
learn page by page.each day a newspaper
plopped
upon my front lawn.i scan and dispense
respond
and dissent.every line and image
disposable/dispensable.All
that is left-
a
paper trail to be recycled.Each morning new
each
evening who remembers?True that headlines
dictate
attention/they will not remain.All the same
i
am turning into a forest.I grow leaves/turn green
I
return to my origins.I am a Green Man!
