AND IN THE END...

 “Today see’s the end of an era. This is the last Gonzo Daily blog for the foreseeable future. The magazine will continue and we will be transferring your favourite parts of the Gonzo Daily blog into it as of the next issue. One should never say never, so I am not saying this is the last Gonzo Daily blog ever, but things are in a big state of flux, so watch this space!

Thank you for your support over the last 12 years. What a long strange trip it has certainly been”.

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?"

HE SAID MY SMILE WAS A COMBINATION

of a circus clown and sharks teeth

Whether to run or to embrace is an eternal dichotomy

A false smile is diplomacy

Sincere?Confusion..

Some people paste and Photoshop their Zen mask

It becomes stuck on.Peeling Noh emotions

Theater makeup.Dust and squalor.Tempest Fugit.

Tempers flare like oil fires.Whole forests of emoticons burning.

If life were simple,we would still get complexes.Conflicted,

it is hard to resolve criminal Presidents and false Popes.

The danger is to believe.So Drama has two Fates.

Free Will and Determined to Get Through.

There is always a road in-another out

They are not the same road.

RIVER ROCKS TO GEODES

Stones and rocks and pebbles

Each with weight ,magic,gravity

To be weighed as ancient currency

Strung around our pendant necks

Art of rocks as Towers and as Pyramids

You are attracted to specific stones

Whether petrogylphs or rock carvings

Meaning is inscribed as Rosetta Stones

Inscriptions on rock wall faces for Ages

Stones carry messages ,skimmed on waters

Rock remains,as music for generations

Diamonds,rubies,emeralds,opals-

Many languages,one Earth Tone.

Our Earth Rock our only home...

HIGH-RISE AUSTIN CLAWS OUR SKYLINE

Dwarfing our Capitol Building-revealing Corporate power-

An anonymous skyline that could have been dumped from Mars

Serves only those who can afford condominiums in Towers.

Single story businesses/buildings razed /displaced/dispossessed.

High rents give no space to working class Austinites-

creating a new class of homeless (those on minimum wage slavery)

Working poor commute from Buda /Kyle.Business leaders want to move THE ARCH

out to the outskirts of town(like COMMUNITY FIRST).APD harasses homeless.

Austin Central looks like a Mini-L.A.Malls of Generica.Insurance and Tech workers.

Parking restrictions lower the viability of City events.Public Transport ?Nothing after midnight.

Money madness impels competing Towers.We could be anywhere.No more "Village"

A Central Business District Pedestrian Mall might alleviate the pressure.

So might mini-buses like the old Armadillo.Send ACL to F1.Re-wilde Zilker Park.

We need PEOPLE SPACES,not high-rise car parks.Smaller circles of communities ..

Mueller Development could have shown the way..Is it too late for Austin?

Real Estate vs Real People's Needs..You choose...

PABLO NERUDA WROTE "DOMESTIC POEMS"-

Poems to scissors,crockery  and to cutlery-much like Penelope

Fitzgerald,that is..She divided her life into poems

about her life ,a stray cat,her loves,objects in a kitchen drawer..

Simple as Pam Ayers,gentle as Stevie Smith and H.D,

her poetry is of a small life ,shared with her daughter

in an epistolary manner.Gentle poetry,whimsical..

Perhaps you knew her from her Booker Award Winning novel-OFFSHORE..

Or perhaps for her work-THE BLUE FLOWER.

She wrote about other poets,largely forgotten in 2023.-

Anne Enright,Charlotte Mew,Edward White Benson..

You may remember Radclyffe Hall and Stevie Smith ..If you do,then..

Time to re-read these Thirteen Poems of Penelope Fitzgerald..

GONZO TRACK OF THE DAY: Молебень до Пресвятої Богородиці (аудіозапис, укр.)

Being Sunday I always post sacred music. The name of the deity may change, or even the deity Him/Herself but the spirit remains the same. For the moment, however, each Sunday the music will be from Ukraine.
