"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!!"

"NO PLACE TO RETURN TO"
EVERY HOUSE I EVER LIVED IN BEFORE
has
now new and second hand stories.Other hands
make
gardens out of rocks.My past is lost
among debris
tossed .Lots of pasts and presents land
not
where i stand/just where i stood.Life &time do not stop.
We
just get off "at the next convenient station"
Nothing
to return to.If i do not learn now,
i
will be forgotten tomorrow.
