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?"
SEPTEMBER 2020,AUSTIN,TEXAS
STREETS ARE DESERTED WHEN SHOPS ARE CLOSED
"Revival of Downtown" a Noble Aim
Bicycles now have Pandemic Cycle Lanes
Parking no problem-park anywhere!
People are home,in their Homeland/Home Office ,eye-strained
when seeking to connect -for business or fun
Even HAAM is online-all Festivals gone
Rents still high as bankruptcies rise
First go the small,the fragile,the weak
Then the giants,high-rise ,who need
a customer base (but they are defunct)-
as businesses de-funded,go belly up.
Now the homeless are many and their presence seen and heard
YOU MAY BE NEXT! is the warning and word
More unemployed ,furloughed,dismissed or on leave
And Downtown a Ghost Town.Who grieves?
We have AMAZON and HULU and NETFLIX for dreams
Maybe next virtual generation will sell better virtual dreams.
Want to make money?Sell better batteries..
