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?"

FUTURE PRESENT!

YES! A GIFT!

Arrived like a stork on our doorstop!

What if you are right?

Multiple omnipresent time zones

from which we select as @a TIME SUPERMART

a slice of POSSIBLE PRESENT,

returning UNSATISFACTORY PASTS

and DUBIOUS FUTURES,so all you have

is now.And it is gone.What to do?

No solid foundation to stand upon

Faculties that waver and weave and wander 

in terms of paying attention.And here you are(again!

caught like headlights in a leaping deer.Where will you be now?

All cultures dictate sequence-like foreign movies(it changes)- 

You are part of a cultural mosaic.Your name is called.

You forget what happens ..NEXT!
