"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!!"

MARRIED TO THE CLICHE
MACHINE
Certain words have been
appropriated
and may not be used without
sneering-
you know the Usual
Suspects.(expressing feelings
When eye checked my (he)art in
the Emotional Mechanic said he
did not work with Olde Models
Could not even donate antique
diabetic plasma
Like collecting 78rpms,or old
newspapers
we get gray with age and
handling
yet stay(a bubble in
time),holding on to a vanished species
Antiquarians Unite!This life is
a suitcase,packed with stuff
Random as Access Memories,flip
through flow charts,slides
Power Point Projections-ah!here
it is!Your childhood!
Preserved via artifacts that
only have meaning for one.
Now-how will you explain
this?
