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?"
PRESSURE POINTS
It is true this virus is called a "Boomer Cure"
largely focusing upon our elders,now isolated
voluntarily or by public fiat-at homes or in "rest"homes or elder "care".
Care workers fear being exposed-so no visitors apart from hospice workers/family.
Which leaves elders in double isolation,and medical staff @risk.
Infection is feared more than followed.Social isolation is a deferral,not a cure.
Fear promotes panic buying of "essential"supplies,and our economy
now consists of hoarding and stockpiling survivalism tools,
while cinemas,churches,clubs,bars close,and air transport and cruises halt.
Contraction is not expansion.Stock Market knows,and hunkers down.
Workers without sick leave are told not to come to work.Pollution clears over China
and traffic in Austin is now flowing.Pressure points are selective and changing.
Yet we all feel the same anxiety.Every Nation is affected.Even the penguins are nervous..
