"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!!"

EVERY BODY
Got to be somewhere
in
between births,deaths,marriages,divorces
slap
face sorrows,singing bird summers
raincoats,bushfires,headlines,happiness
sneak
in to a darkened cinema
watch
Light play in colors
on
a screen in your own hands
like
a life 's unguided missile
firing
overhead/to crack the code
you
embrace life/defer death
until
some great bird snatches you up
inside
its hungry beak-and you say-
"Well!
THAT never happened to me before!"
