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 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?

AS IF THIS NEVER HAPPENED
AS IF YOU NEVER LIVED
(The unremembered life is not worth repeating
like those things that cling to your fingers
You cannot give them away,so they stay
occupying your conscience and your room
until there is no room for you anymore
and you must move to another space
(And even then,memory is selective
Parts of your life are crumbling infrastructure
You have no longer energy to anger
nor to waste with others to whom you are invisible
This is a an AMBER ALERT,not a RED FLAG
You pass through the portals and passages
re-learn your passwords and computer codes
find yourself in a  new scenario-as if this one

never actually happened..

...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.
