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?

ODDLY SATISFYING
AUTONOMOUS SENSORY MERIDIAN RESPONSES
Perhaps you,too,have fallen through the YOUTUBE
into a cavalcade of oddly euphoric visual repetitive experiences
like watching hours of slow motion sports-soccer,tennis,golf..
or factory processing or watching slime,sand,soap making...
Or kitchen cooking-slicing,shredding,cutting,dicing
In fact,all cooking programs  as they slowly reveal their processing...
Here is where your life gets lost-in clips and memes and gifs
that are sweet and colorful eye candy/so much so/you become addicted..
Hypnotized by ads with the sound turned off-or cat videos-or babies playing(or both..

LIFE means more than a meme.TIME means more than an online magazine..

...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.
