THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes: 

"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 within 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?" 


MIDNIGHT 2 DAWN

WHEN CARS ARE ASLEEP

and only coffee addicts and insomniacs become poets

by formulating and articulating solutions and panaceas

which disappear like fog and chimeras by sunbreak

            Stillness and silence.Another world.

That tiny wormhole into other realities'

which allow fantasists (like me)to ponder and pontificate

           OF COURSE we can change all emotional weather patterns

OF COURSE we have the capacity to think/feel/adapt to changed circumstance

          OF COURSE evolution is true,clear and accurate when it comes to the human race

Clarity is thin ice as cars arise and demand work and to be driven

Autonomous vehicles might not be so demanding

Slow and steady .No human error.Or maybe perilous tasks

might best be attained after midnight-in a sleeping world

when vigilance and creativity are doubly blessed

And we can then wake up -to lucid dreaming!
