"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 appearences 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!!"

OTHER
most i know is other-languages,cultures-
homes,people,travel,cities,experiences
things there is no time to share (just live!
You come from there ,too-i recognize you!-
hesitant in crowds,rewarding one-on-one
as private and as personal as we get
There will always be an "other"-
walls and wars make prisons out of schools
cages out of homes,and doors to walk through
(sometimes windows work,too-to climb through/Rapunzel!
All i know is other.It has little relevance or context.Most is redundant-
formats discarded,bands long broken,friends gone,homes lost.
The cost of being "other"is another language/another culture
It gives perspective when Death arrives again
and this time it is for someone else.
