"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!!"

PUBLIC TRANS SPORT
i am not the only one
watching,waiting,witnessing
for
SOMETHING to happen
(Mostly-nothing/slowly..
Then
-a flash of fight.Fists flying.A drunk out of time
Out
of his morning night mind.Scratches the matchbox of irritants
SPONTANEOUS
COMBUSTION!A flareup like you see on YOUTUBE
Like
as on a New York subway.Only here .Only now
Just
when you suddenly wished nothing would ever disturb
Your
silent watching.Your anger building
Your
matchboxes,burning
