THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling 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, 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)

MORGELLAN's/MUNCHAUSEN's as MEMES

before you reach for the olanzapine,risperidone or pimozide
to deal with symptoms of  pruritis,urticaria,parathaesia
consider narrative based/evidence based medicine processes
to prevent quaternary(overmedicalization)/hypochondritasis
"hospital hopper"or frequent flyer syndrome!Magellan's Syndrome
may seem like Lyme Disease or Fibromyalgia-but the filament cultures 
extracted find no solution on Snopes nor Skeptics.com
Symptoms as old as 17th Century Languedoc are supplemented
by allusion to nanotechnology,chemtrails,transgenic plants and chemical sensitivities
Whether Nutrasilver will cure Ekbom's Syndrome fills Internet witness video clips
Pathogens mutate-whether their source be laboratory produced or deer ticks or mice droppings
Our immune systems may be compromised,our air and water irreversibly polluted
our information Wikipediated.Google is not enough.Stay healthy!FLUSH!

...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.
