THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem


Rob Ayling 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 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

WHEN I DROVE A VOLKSWAGEN
all i saw were Volkswagens!
especially the same colored ones!
Same with Volvos,Hondas and Toyotas-
seeing is selective(as is memory!

when i remember you,it is partially
emotions phase and return intermittently
most of my life -fragmentary

people say they lose more as they grow older
i believe we have more to relive


that is why i wish to live forever
