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)

SLIP INTO A CINEMA
where shadows watch the screen
Look for EMERGENCY EXIT
Recall that DARK KNIGHT RISING
PREVIEWS of FORTHCOMING ATTRACTIONS
(better than the full-length movie)
Stuff oneself with Coca-Killa /popcorn avalanche
SUMMER's here and the time is right
for air-conditioning won the West
Sweat outside,chill within
It does not matter what is on the screen
Star Trek/Star Wars by JJ ABRAMS
X-MEN now an APOCALYPSE franchise
TERMINATORS reprise,TRANSFORMERS film in Texas
Hard to top TITANIC,AVATAR,ARMAGEDDON,2012
the next disaster involves each of  us

that we still seek distractions from the obvious.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
