"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?"
SHIPBUILDING
WHEN I WORKED THE WHARVES
(When there were wharves(pre-containers)
there was a joyful camaraderie among the workers
I thought of their losing battle against rust and redundancies
How ships are eternal,but always become shipwrecks
How rats are married to the maritime,and travel as stowaways
How fire ants once disturbed,move somewhere else
Just like wasps do,setting up WASP HQ new
And we shift domicile,or smile and change shelter
into new hues.Any color will do-so long as it is a song
Pink?or Blue?
