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?
BUONO FORTUNO
BUONO FORTUNO
MY BODY WILL NOT CARRY
ARTIFACTS
No jewelry.No tattoos.No physical
adornment
In fact,when i wear a ring/it falls
off/falls away
So my head is not ornamental.It is as
rich as Croesus.
Golden Aura.No gold
required.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I want to stay young.In this Holy
Moment
which exists/as long as breath/while
we are here/as of now
This is enough.This magic of this
moment.And this next.And this..And..
"QUIET DESPERATION"
The Librarian is an Anarchist.The
teacher is a Luddite.
I am sure that poet is a Communist.But
they all look so placid.
So milk calm.So pond deep.So drinking
in the Silence
They know something we will not
admit-Body has Soul
It will not be controlled.
