THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem


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!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

CASCADING CRASH
Intermittently,glasses suicide in my kitchen
Lemnminglike,they perch so close to the edge
from HIGH up in open door cupboard space
or nudging open doors with overfilled shelves
they tip,they tipple,they tipsy,they fall
down to the crashed smashed particle floor
I do not need to believe in gravity

to not want that to happen to me!
