"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!!"

FOOL MOON BRINGS THEM OUT
&these streets are full of soles
slapping
between zero&infinities
seeking
Illuminatory rituals
pockets
running empty
here,the
hills are highrise
sky
is only background
if
you wish to be a poem
you
will still seek to be found
if
you wish to be a car
you
must cash and carry
if
you wish to be a truck
cargo,cult
and canny
if
you wish to be the moon
we
have not any!
you
want to be a star?
take
a seat.Take a number
Give
us all your money
You
are unlike any other
who
wishes to be
just
like all the others
Wait
for the moon to come out.
Watch
her all night long
That
is where you learn to steal
all
your songs..
