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 Thom'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?
"CRAZY CHURCH"
Sunday.Spoken n Heard.Kick Butt.Pisces
Full Moon.Tom from Guatemala
plays harp and poem/runs a jazz poetry
cafe back home
and edits a sloppy poetry magazine"A
Literary Mess"(in his own words..
When we begin the initial free-for -all
Invocation of Co-Operation,
inviting the whole audience on stage to
do exactly what they will,he joins in.
Passionately plays his harp among the
sounds of howls and lines of greeting flung like meat to tourist
sharks.
We almost outnumber the"audience".We
warn them the night belongs to them.
That this taste is addictive,and they
will be allowed (like Palestinians)to return.
He smiles and "gets"it.He calls this
CRAZY CHURCH!-a secular jamboree..
A "Come All Ye" with no entry
requirements-apart from a desire to connect and communicate..
A natural flow of energy dictates
beginning ,middle and end of this mini-drama opening
He invites us to his Cafe in
Guatemala,and we fantasize visiting.Right now,
we are welcoming ourselves to
ourselves.Secular Sunday Church has begun-
and you do not have to believe a single
thing...
(Note especially Dorothy Parker’s response
to Pius IX’s Casti Connubii encyclical. The girl’s sharp wit is surely
enshrined in the Vatican’s archives.)
