"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!!"

CRYOTHERAPY
i am your town crier!If you are sad
(seasonal
affective disorder)
or
love has left,or you are dispossessed
or
jobs are lost,or costs too high
i
will cry with you.We will sit
and
shed tears together.Forget why!
Just
cry!Every village needs an idiot
a
set of stocks and a town crier.
We
have all three!Our stock is rising
as more reasons for
tears are uncovered
We
discover even more when we begin
There
is only oceans to fill
with
all this global warming
Lakes
will fill/refill.Tears will trickle
to
a flash flood.Drown if you will
so
long as someone is here to share your tears
You
do not need a reason-
Just
a listening companion
(that's
why my friends have dogs
That
is why i have a rescued cat
Cats
don't cry.
