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?"
AS SOON AS THE ARROW IS LOOSED
There will be commentators-
the air will complain of misrepresentation
The bow claim no agency
The target victimization
The string says it was cajoled
Each RASHOMON witness
All THE USUAL SUSPECTS
Every MEMENTO of the event
has different recollections
Photograph of one instant
Video every split second replay
Book collects all these different versions
Poem lists in these brief lines
So it is with the arrow of our lives-
Bent,straight or broken
Even before we enter the womb-
Laws,politics,votes,media,opinions...
Even when we leave,Lisa Marie Presley.
