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?"

UNDERNEATH LANGUAGE
We reach to each other in different voices-
song,art,speech..some of which gets written down
Even less published and repeated."It is a visual world"
"It is a multi-media world"Proof of cliches lives when stars die.
They are transformed into stars on Hollywood Boulevard
and photographs by paparazzi.You do no longer own your image!
When alive,you can sue for misappropriation.Only your agent
of licensed family can sue for you posthumously.
Mao and Disney and Lenin are wax Museums.
David Bowie an Emoji!Trance Gendering -WOW!

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
