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?"

IT BEGAN WHEN I WAS TRAPPING TIME
AND FOUND MYSELF TRAPPED IN FLYPAPER TIME
Stuck in Zen,when all i wanted was New.Boxed my life with timed clocks.
Grandfathered my time.Wrist watched my father.Sundialed my Ancestors.
Time ran faster than i am.Even now,chasing and collecting Significant Moments''
Most slip away,feral and frolicking.I do not have time for this.My heartbeats measured,
my pulse irregular.Even today oscillates between tempest and torment(emotional weather-wise..
All i want is time enough to read,write,watch,listen,imbibe,participate-with enough leisure time
to create,communicate,catch all the  flying fantastic fish of Symbolic Surrealism,allowing other Art Schools
to teach fish to avoid Nets and Avatars.Will there ever be ENOUGH time?
At present,i am employing a CATCH &RELEASE program.That way,time returns in an Infinite Loop.
There is always enough time.Just have to adjust to limitations,parameters,parking meters
I do not seek the RED LIGHT area of EXPIRATION dates.My USE BY date is INFINITY.
Time that!

...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.
