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?

TIME IS A MEASURE OF COUNTED BREATHS
Waiting for the bus of Fate,or the Ship of Fools
We live@different rates.Shift gears according to age and energies.
Pace of walking life,perambulating gardens,meditating
Speed of car or plane of existence/events piled upon events.
Slow deterioration health.Cracked,corroded arteries.
Heart based life aligned with thoughtfulness.
Art is how we choose.Slow frame or fast feral.
Choice is the illusion of choice.Life a Chapter of Unwritten Memoirs.
Stringing word pearls dazzling in the sun,moon diamond star nights
We align ourselves with sidereal time.Change time zones like clothes.
To be alive is every thing.

...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.
