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?"

POST CHRISTMAS RETURNS

I WISH TO RETURN THIS LINEAR TIME!

I wish to multi-task,but time won't let me

Everything on this planet is time-bound

i wish some fifth-dimensional thinking!

My grandfather was a clock.He tolled in long hallways

My father was a wrist watch.He carried time lightly.

I do not have a Smartwatch,with which to multi-task

So this version of time you sold me is past its USE BY date

I do not seek to go back(as in a TIME MACHINE)

I do not want the past (as through a WEBB TELESCOPE)

But the version of time passing eludes me /ages me

I am no PORTRAIT OF DORIAN GREY-no Oscar,Wilde

My time is counted heartbeats.I would see a LIFE EXTENSION,please

And i do not have time to argue or to judge.Just give me my time back,please

TIME,GENTLEMEN..
