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?"

RIDING THE CHAOS WAVES
Each day appears as a different Avatar-
whether Astrological or simply a Magic Number..
Significance comes from defying Habit/Repetition
so every moment can be re-programmed.
What you did when young no longer fits
(same as yesterday/same as tomorrow)
Those voices in your head may be wise enough
to have you focus on that which is not necessarily in your mind
but may be crocodile SNAP! in the river mud of your sub-conscious..
My Chicago friend says she wants to turn off her ant /beesnest brain/
but i said she would not be happy as a habit zombie.She agreed.
Sometimes we need that adrenalin of alacrity to activate and agitate ourselves
past yoga and Tai Chi and meditation serenity-into the chaos of BRING IT ON!
WHAT DRAGON DARES ?WHO'S NEXT!?

...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.
