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?"

YES!AUGMENT MY REALITY!

But do not displace nor disfigure it

Let others play games!We are here to LIVE!

These hand -held captives have their eyes ransomed

for imaginary figures in our real landscapes.New Dungeons &Dragons?

Of course-distraction/displacement

Obvious-this is not us.We live eye to eye,voice to ear-here!

As sure of each other as any non-robot can make clear..

New games will displace reality like REALITY TV displaced TV..

And who needs more stealing of our tiny time,effort and energies?

 We do not wish anyone to be robbed,hit by traffic etc-may we be clear

Fantasy may be our reality-but our game is being human

We may not win-but we need total attention for true participation!
