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?"

EVEN NOTHING IS SOMETHING

BLACK HOLES IN SPACE FILL UP SPACE
Gaps in memory fill up time. Matter and anti-matter do not matter.

We are defined by time. Intervals between dreams. To focus upon endings

destroys the piquancy of each exoticism. While we are sentient, there is much to experience.

Even when we forget, age, get Alzheimers-a diminished capacity remains. Scale counts.

A child can be totally engaged with a pet. An adult with an engineering project.

Scale and context. Both forms of consciousness. Both valid in time.

This is your time.It matters.Your choices have consequences.

When you wake from this waking life,and dream your day into another night,

you may not be sure of sequence or consequence.It does not matter.

Time will come and pick you up. The taxicab of fate,full of free will customers.

UBER or LYFT-you are still being transported. You pay for the time.

Once you get there,you will forget .Many passengers before you.

More await their birth into this flesh.
