"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!!"

THIS IS A DREAM
Blame the moon!so cool white skin pockmarked/so distant
when you wake,she will have taken your wallet.
Lighter than air now,you see no need for jetpacks or space stations
You rocket days like youth/graphic novel over comic effects
Imaginary scenarios present themselves upon the printed page
Images outline hypothetical alternatives to the morass of today
You place bets on gambling your life away
Croupier Death owns the dice and the game
