"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!!"

ROADS&BRIDGES IN SOUTHWEST TEXAS
do not have salt and sand sufficient to stop skidding
slipping
&sliding into intimate metal conjunctives
Prepositions
and adjectives ,connectives and subjunctives
all
crash and grammatically collide(usually with no loss of life)-
schools
start later.Papers get delivered the next day.Time warps open up
Those
silly enough to brave the thin roads get to meet other cars
somewhat
closer than original intentions.Full STOPs only happen
when
metal meets metal or concrete .Magnetic attraction on Mopac's ice skating
rink
or
IH35's ski slopes.WINTER OLYMPICS in Austin,Texas
We
would not know what to do with ice,sleet.drizzle rain or snow
Lucky
most of our life is spent on emotional roads
Closed
down by emotional road blocks!
