THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 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?" 
SOAP BUBBLES
It just won't wash.Politics is skin deep.
Ephemera seduce our sensei.
There is no Forever.Each night,a line
is written on your skin.Dreams slip in
between that incision.If you do not forget them
they remain within,waiting for expression.
Lifetimes waiting for a bus.For love.For time to pass.
Whole mornings bright coffee/whole evenings herbal tea.
Like unrolling Kerouac's ON THE ROAD manuscript
only to discover it was both a script,a road,a movie and a book.
Hourglass in the sands.Waterhole salvations.
Between ,we sip,taste,go dry,flood,awash with experiences
You were dancing in your skin long before you knew

Unfolding is an art form,too!

...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.
