"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!!"

documentary vs fantasy
TONIGHT
eye went to listen
to learn and to absorb
to take in what was otherwise
forgotten
to pay attention .This evening was
special
as the desire to attune/to what is and what
may be
in the words of others' songs.Time evicted
us
Lapses of attention edited response.This
fragment of Dead Sea scrolls
all i hold as evidence.Once there was..a
story..told&shared.
We all declared that we would listen.But the
message
got lost in rush towards the next.When will i
recall
what you are saying to me now/instead of
recounting
what just happened?
