"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!!"

BREAKS DEFINE
spaces between(you and i)/you
ask for punctuation
i want more rest
stops.Pauses.Ellipses.
Times to catch breath and dream
deep.
Escape is always an
option(temporarily=
1.Dream time slips
dissolves
2.Wait for lives to pass
3.Enlist volunteers to ignore
the obvious
4.Empower fave fantasies in
lieu of belief
Beauty an investment that
rewards with interest
Passion a wave to ride until
the beach
Energy a talk between
consenting burglars
Theories just more food for
changes
Petitioning Public Libraries
open day &night
Ditto public transport so we
can be mobile
Homes for every dispossessed
from human loving
Beggars made of policemen if
they cannot love
Dream world is real world when
someone listens
Tomorrow is today when you will
awaken..
