"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!!"

CONCRETE POETRY
Cracks
me up!Anarchist grass splits apart
the
envelope of controlled rectangles.Little plants
are
weeds to some-life to insects,
seeking
reprieve from violated feng shui
Chernobyl
showed .Fukushima glows.Future mutants
in
the tuna flow.All that is green may be an advertising dream.
Painted.Perfect.Photoshopped.Nature
is a Brand Name.
Natural
is a Product(Placement).Now- shift that mountain!
So
we can get a better view of the skyline
and those space
age skyscrapers
crumbling..
