"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!!"

Epiphenomenonological
LOVE OF CHEAP HOTELS
with
thin sheets and slip of soap
wrapped
so that if you do not steal
it
will be there forever.USE BY dates ignored
Plastic,nylon,uniform.TV
god-remote.
Gideon
in his drawers.Air conditioning dragon
roars
when you need silence,heats when you need cool
Meditation
Chamber-or HBO for UFOs of your mind
to
steal sleep as you sweat and turn on the tiny shower drip
just
to FEEL something almost natural?Spartan accommodation!
Civilian
military barracks.Double or single-still resistant to relax
So
stare @MTV after midnight.Are those bloodstains?
Do
you hear screams?or the hump of bodies in the next sweat lodge?
Morning
cracks light and heat .Groggy,you need sleep
Walk
out for an ice/machine.Begin Illumination!
