"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 Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)
The car broke in two. He died immediately
@ the funeral,each was given a coffee cup
with
his image upon it -to remember his habits
they
shared their puzzlement as they did not know him
All
were young and from San Marcos.Death aged them
When
ends attack beginnings,meditation&mantras
will
not stop clocks nor cannons of continuance
whether
we know or fear or dig or make ways clear
there
is an end in every thing(this is why we sing!-
liturgy
or thrash metal,folk or acoustic improvisations
blues,reggae,space
Muse or orchestral manoeuvres
the
passing of particle consciousness diminishes all of us
who
can we sing to -when there are fewer(and less)-of us?
