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?"

WALKING A LABYRINTH
PERAMBULATING DEMOSTHENES
TAKING A SUNDAY STROLL
STEP BY STEP
Eyes unfolding maps
Depths and dimensions arise
When we rise up and walk out that door
When we walk towards(or away from)
You may add a bicycle/or stand upon a skateboard
Rolling down slopes and kicking uphills
Movement saves you from the snapping dragons
of daily domestic doings/repeating Sargasso Seas
Worlds await you when you walk
Towards or away from/when you talk
And listen simultaneously
Words are boats,bridges,balloons

YOU ARE FREE!

...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.
