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)


Re: are the messages of Hermes images
AGE OF IMAGE(Chimeras..
Age of multi-media(mediated images
Age of INSTANT(as in digital
Age of Photoshop(Edit,Frame,Cut
Age of superficial(shallow slick
If you have Myths(make it quick!
That cheerful New jersey sample girl in HEB
is as loud as ECHO.Narcissus watches,smilingly
Resonance is when one denotes another
Other worlds require we remember
Denial is a door,association a window
We come in blood womb,we leave chilled
IMPLICATION makes another Mystery
Every culture has cults-Memory/Forgetfulness
Every step is cast in stone/words.Fog/mist

Statuary.Tombstones.Inscriptions.Ozymandias

...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.
