"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?"
ADDICT ,I
METFORMIN,PIOGLITAZONE,LISINOPRIL,JARDIANCE
My dealers Doctors and that CVS.There is no cure/just maintenance
Pills daily,nightly.Who can forget all this?I remember my uncle
his dying bed ,next to a table filled with pills and potions
none of which had saved him from a pot-bellied end..
And my grandfather,on his death bed,still taking his medicine
even though he knew no pill could save him in the end.
Salt and sugar my mainlines.I digest them in all foods.
Been rewarded from childhood with these sweets which pump up dentist bills.
Peanut on a plane had shaken out a filling-so a hippy dentist in Hollywood
filled that hole .I gave him poetry.Satisfied,we.What i see-we
are all addicts .Some drugs kill faster than others-work,duty,beliefs,obedience.
Others string you out - they might sustain you -family,friends,acquaintances
Dependence universal as habits.Each day,another dose of time is apportioned.
You become oblivious to the fact of ends.Then they do.And you do,too
My best habit -is staying alive.No drug can top that-but some try to
Poetry,art,music-they are drugs,too.I am addicted.How about you?
