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?"
FACEBOOK FILLS WITH HOME COOKING RECIPES
People fixate upon theri own home meals
They create culinary mistresspieces for their families
And ,since friends cannot visit,(they feed)their ancestral ghosts
They itemize and photograph each delicacy
They ransack their family history for grandmothered recipes
They serve each night until tiredness settles in-
La Grande Bouffe?or Babette's Feast?or Tampopo?
or Tom Jones with that sexual eating scene?
or The Cook,The Wide,The Thief,The Lover (by Greenaway)
Filmed feasts -French,Italian,exotic -hold sway
Conversations consume us of what we are consuming
Food is release in the age of Lockdown
Hot spots outside slaughterhouses ask us to consider
Vegan/vegetarian options for survival evermore..
