"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!!"

VIRTUAL IMMORTALITY
Your presence on FACEBOOK is forever
or
at least until MYSPACE displaces that phenomena
Despite
myths to contrary,your hair and nails
do
not continue to grow after your demise
but
your Facebook photos remain in all their verite glory
un-PHOTOSHOPPED
,digital,stored in memory
Your
email address will continue until evidence of your passing
is
found and presented to YAHOO-who may or may not delete you
You
will be forgotten-first by friends,last by family.
Folk
will assume you have moved-to a new address in hyperspace
You
will be displaced in attention by some new birth or visitor
non-virtual
(Citizens
of SECOND LIFE still rely upon these FIRST LIFE folk for
projection-
you
may morph into a new avatar when your computer company sends a bill for
services
and
your credit card balance is its first mortality!Virtually,you are already one of
7 billion bytes
Whether
you ever reach tetra-has as much to do with others responses
as
now,so Zen.You will be forgotten.(unless re-programed!
