"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 and 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!!"

TOO MUCH MONKEY BUSINESS!
REDOLENT & RICH IN RESONANCE
Receiving&Believing&Blessed
i hold loyal to redundant formats just in
case
we fall back into RETROMANIA
Boxes of cassette tapes
when even Wal-Mart sells no
players
Videos-hundreds-with no time to
watch!
45 boxes of unread poetry(that will remain
so
unless fate extends my Permit to Occupy
Space
and Mountains of Memories are unpacked like
precious china
My mother gives me a pen and a wrist
watch
i carry Noh time like the Present.Write less
than type
Process words as if they are screams @open
mikes.
Bernie Saunders?Elizabeth Warren?They get my
vote
Same as Wendy Davis has my loyalty.And Lloyd
Doggett eternally
Few luminaries shine in a time of
disposable/dispensable cliches
"IT IS WHAT IT IS"is not good enough.Dance
faster than time-
but remember where you come from."Dance with
those who brought you -
and "If it ain't broke,don't fix it".But if
it is(broken)-time to dance ..faster..O Dervishes!-
"If you are skating on thin ice..You May As
Well Dance!"(Jessie Winchester)
