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 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?"

DEFEATING TIME
Silence-for three minutes and thirty-three seconds.
Designing/building structures(pyramids/sound caves/theaters)
that will last longer than our life time.And works-literary,musical-
calculated to extend beyond our "three score years and ten"
Think-Star time.Universe time.Life times extended by those twin  thoughts-
INFINITY/ETERNITY.(and Beyond).Sounds like Buzz Lightyear(or John Cage)
Sounds like slow time.Zen Meditating mind.Immortalism via Creation.
If you can dream it is possible.Water time.Mountain time.
Glacier time.Drip of  stalactite to stalagmite.Kiss of Infinities.
Beyond and before and After us-different time signatures/shifts
Music knows this

...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.
