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?"
IN ORDER TO STAY ALIVE
in order to keep in connection
i will observe"social distancing"
i will even "shelter in place"
line up for essential items (as in wartime
but this is not a war (with a virus
this is a world health issue'
demanding community co-operation
So every live venue closes down
Hopes to re-open in time
My loose friends all lose their jobs
Every body lives online
We miss the hug and the handshake
the smile and the answering eye
The only reason we are so compliant
None of us wish to die.
