Rob Ayling writes: 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!!"
ANGELA DE IMMINENTE MORTE
There is a part in "BOOM!"
Joseph Losey's meditation /riff on Tennessee
William's
"The Milk Train Does Not Stop Here
Anymore"
where Richard Burton makes love to Elizabeth
Taylor
knowing she is both rich and dying-and
she,intuiting
his presence as the ANGEL OF DEATH,both loves
and hates his presence
Sparks fly-milder than "WHO'SE AFRAID OF
VIRGINIA WOOLF?"
more than THE SANDPIPER and TAMING OF THE
SHREW
where the subtext and context of their
CLEOPATRA love
outweighed and overshadowed the
(inadequate)movie.
Is this not life?-where each daily script (if
planned)
falls to "the slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune?"
WHEN I STEP OUTSIDE MY DOOR/AS I LAY
DYING,
ONCE UPON A TIME-literature (again and
always)-fails life..
