"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!!"

FORGET WHO YOU ARE!
and why so many follow balls
into baskets and holes and bats and side
pockets
Forget what you did and with who,and
why
Forget
consequences,actions,thoughts,intentions,results
Inventories,accidents,casualties,visitations
from angels-
anything that might deter you from this
moment you are dressed in
(not a corpse in a coffin ready for
viewing-
more a candidate for inspection for a
position you are seeking)
If you lose concentration,this will seem
like a list.
You will go back to past patterns(holding
patterns)
You may forget to land (where you are-feet
on the ground
quick brown fox leaping over the dull
fence...electric as toothpaste
Shocked into change.
