Rob Ayling writes: "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!!"

BEING BREATHING
WITH NO VIABLE ALTERNATIVE
eye
become unconscious
of
this quiet guest(my only heart
Blame
him for poor choices
when
liver and kidney are also damaged
and
circulating rumors rather than red blood
finds
a wardrobe malfunction in the metasphere
where
all things REPRESENT invisible source codes
You
skin slim thin /dance elementary physics
seek
levity over gravity/use cars to praise walking
We
are not stranded .Even when tides retreat/we have choices
Our
littleness is huge to ants.Architecture our immortality.
Quick!BUILD
SOMETHING!Put your name on it
for
time capsules are medicinal memories
and
air is counted heartbeats.
