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?"

WHERE WE AGREE
NO DESIRE TO KILL
Yet i still eat animal suffering
Imbibe Slaughterhouse 5/Catch 22
Eat @the Restaurant @the End of the Universe
Note how many exited @27-did not make it to 42
Numerologists whose time is UP
Seek Starmaps of constellations/where even actors
are out of work and waiting for a new script.Your words
are snails and smoke.Fires and stones.Zen and Supermarkets
Your silences?Between worlds."Waiting for wonder"
What you carry?Interior dialogues/back pocket philosophies
Like spearing water.Catching moonbeams.Optical allusions.
We are captives in the one room hotel Earth.
They will not let us sheeple out -until herd immunity
Even vaccines fail against failure.Even doctors cry.

...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.
