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?"
WELCOME BACK ,RAINBOW FESTIVAL FONTY FOX!
WELCOME BACK<POST -STROKE FONTY!
You of hallucinatory art on the columns in the Reign of Ruta Maya
You of Eternal Color-In Parties and tie-dye bearded fashions
You return to us post-Lazydaze Thursdays,now ensconced in Captain Quackenbush
You write in your tiny notebook diamond facet smiles
But you came to be with us-to talk again,share stories of busts and beauty
Post-Colorado Rainbow Festival ,with cops black-taping their badges,
Colluding with corrupt HIGH TIMES clientele in these strange daze..
It is only when the poetry writing is over that we get to share in depth
How you were worried you had lost your art,your mind,your speech
You used to outwit the Blue Meanies with your crystal clear intelligence
Now your speech is slow,you are terrified of driving.What to do?
FOCUS IN THIS MOMENT-how far you are from lost
BUILD UPON YOUR SKILLS-Retrieve what you can,lower expectations
CLING TO THOSE WITH WHOM YOU SHARE YOUR HOPES
Afternoon is evening.We part to meet again.Welcome home to South Austin,Fonty!
MAY YOUR PARTY NEVER END..
