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 Tom'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?"

RESCUE REMEDIES
WE RESCUE EACH OTHER(HOLY IN OUR NEED..
To be rescued returns us/just as seed
may or may not grow.Know your rescuer
has compassion fatigue.Each victim needs
the need to need.We feed upon each other.
like varieties of predator species.Glad 2 B!

EYE AM ONE(WITH SPARROWS & WITH PIGEONS
Mourning doves coo early daylight to me
There is less difference in generic
When you see one bird(you do not see me
Yet,when you hear my bird call...

LOCATION
Now,eye can only be in one spot@a time
Try between two haystacks(starve and die
She lives in Florence and in Austin

 He in San Fran and our little A-town
Both beam reflections of adoptions
Adaptations to Two Towns Gold Names
 I can only be here and now for /with you
Until your eyes turn away..again..

WHEN EYE GO BACK(LESS IS LEFT
All moved on(Homes demolished
(My heart travels with me/it knows where to stay
Even if i give it freely/it will not run away)
Yet every evidence and artifact
of birth/childhood/adolescence
is somewhere else in a cloudy haze
Pretending to be memories days
And what i speak.And what i say
It has moved on also.It will not stay.

...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.
