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!!"

SEEING DECEMBER OUT THE DOOR
Accordian days allegedly musical(when compressed)
Shopping
Stressmas/Festivus/Festival of Malls
Gift
exchange =Returns after giving/best handmade/homemade
Overload
of foods and friends/weather chills/reminds again
we
are in the hands of events/ all larger than our consciousness.
End
of calendar/then review/of all this year offered that was new-
deaths,losses,bombings,accidents-casualty
of days that accuse nights of indifference
Even
those of age who let the rope of time slip away
are
now posters on ebay,I am releasing this year sans review-
like
Janus,the only way for me is looking forward
All
that was will not refresh.Even my computer knows that
Programs
only work with the consent of slaves.Days are best remembered
by
best memories we store away..
