"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!!"

DROPPING RULERS
you hand me a clock
i
carry a wrist watch
antique
sundial shadows
Big
Ben booming
we
have no time...
Two Minutes to Midnight
drop
in the river
URGENT appointments
Nuclear
Clocks
Time's
UP!
found Childe Time
hiding
in Memory Rooms
She
could not remember her future
Grand Fathered time
cedes
to Young Time
Every
New Year
Middlin Muddlin time
in
between/that is where we are
until
our clock stops
ALARM!
