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 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 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)

VISUAL OVER VERBAL
Front cover of Vanity Fair
to new OSHA symbols
Our age is one of change
Sex is a definition
French have uni-sex bathrooms
which solves all categorizations
Puritan nations segregate
We will need more definitions
What happens if you are seen
in the wrong space@the wrong time?
Will bathroom police be issuing citations?
(especially page boys /Congressmen in Washington)
LEGALIZE EVERYTHING!
