"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!!"

MEDITATIONS ON MOPAC
"Ask not for whom the road tolls"
White
headlight blood cells,red tail lights
circulating
(until stopped)/fuming carbon monoxide
If this world were
a parking garage..
High
rise garages,,deep cave garages,
Valet
parking,meters for credit cards
Silence
of churches with sleeping cars
Hiroshima.Nagasaki.Chenobyl.Fukushima
Owners
may have Anasazied
or
vaporized into molecular dimensions
or levitated in a
Rapture
or
been bitten by a Plague
or
simply left their material world behind
Perhaps
those engine computers fried
with
a random meteor strike/asteroid
Ice
Age ,Motor Age,Mining Age
passed
like a prayer from the pulpit
Silence
of bicycles,pedestrians..
