"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!!"

SWALLOWED BY THE MASSES
EVERY BREATH A PRAYER
for continuance.From blind gods
and dervish goddesses
we spin madly quarkwise
/kinetic
if this is a dance,it has
unknown steps
if art,it has no frame nor
market
if book-these pages keep
continuing
if stream-consciousness
connecting
if certain-question marks
demonstrate
if nostalgic-consider memory
loss
if
possession-untie,unlock,unbind
if static-electrically
charge
there is no need to know-
just curiosity cat's paws
outside windows of our space
stations
Keep dancing!Spinning
Madly!
There is no Here but
Now!
