"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!!"

i saw dead deer.i asked her if she wanted
she
explained the shock of their being hit
by
the truth of a truck/somehow affected the meat
so
no one would touch road kill round here
Well,i
knew that as not true.Several flea friends of mine
brave
the tick of the deer,smell of flat skunk
even
broken shelled armadillo just to survive
There
is a way to cook possum meat
so
the entrails do not remind you of you.
Even
turkey vultures(bless their efficacy!)
can
(in turn)be slowly digested
Now
i am not saying this is a metaphor
but
that deer that i saw was not there
when
i looked a second time
