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?

GET OUT YR SELFIES
THERE IS ONLY ONE MIRROR
ONE LETTER"i"(as in iphone,itext.italk
and the topic is Narcissism/solipsisms.
Look into the mirror,Narcissus!
Stand a mirror up to a mirror
Echoing Infinities.Dimensional Relativities.
From where you are standing/best to sit
and paint your he/art in an image
that looks exactly like a photocopy
of a sun rising.Sun flowering.
And if you recognize and resemble that response
Add that to this so all may see
how art is as capable of life
as life is capable of change.

...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.
