"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!!"

HOTEL METAPHOR
You can never be sure you have checked IN
until
they have checked you OUT!
Every
door might be a wall like 13
in
the Remington Mansion.
Like
sand covered movie lots
of
Yul Brynner's TEN COMMANDMENTS
Your
room body might belong to someone else-
doctors,nurses,lovers,past
,family,friends-
there
are no innocent witnesses.Every body gambles
upon
continuance.Win,lose,draw.Hitchcock or Welles-
Psycho or
Magnificent Ambersons/private screenings continue
in
separate rooms of PREVIOUS,PRESENT&FORTHCOMING ATTRACTIONS
Trailers
exist ,though much lies in dust upon this cutting room floor
Way
back,you can hear silent movies /with piano,organ,sound effects
Talkies
,noir,detective,Westerns all color our eyes-with
Widescreen(VistaVision)-and
CinemaScope
All
the digital effects in this galaxy cannot convince you
that
is YOUR life projected upon those around you
O
Zelig! O Purple Rose of Cairo!O Rashomon!O Memento!
Husband
of Hedy Lamarr wanted all those swimming shots burned
Heat
and hot water!Same elements in every epic.You in the featured starring
role..
