"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!!"

LOVED YOU BEFORE I COULD EVER LOVE
i was alive before.some of
you-after
the ones i cannot talk to-hollow
laughter!
no looking!no glowing back!fires
burn
but they are 78,45,33 and a
third
this freedom-how much?
will i have to trade in my credit
cards?
these tin stories?they can be traded for
aluminum
looks like sweets and a buffet when the
wedding party drones come in
Soul Proprietors with one storey
eyes
offer Kindness in Cups of cold
water
constant as breathing-these
changes
they make each line into a fish
these days quiver with jelly
excitement
None of us know what will
happen!
work has changed money on stock
markets
banks roll in other 's wealth
/packs
saving souls is not as important as having
one
sharing diverse opinions seems
wiser than sticking with one.
diary of a calendar.Every date
taken!
spark anger.Beware !It
burns!
On the one hand.Most experience
is second hand.
Poetry ,philosophy,and art
arranged a Group Marriage.
Your Life Stories?Make Them
Up!
There are no secrets.Every
butterfly transparent.
