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?"

I KNOW FREE WILL

IS OFTEN NEGATED BY THE FATES

Sometimes we are saved via synchronicities

Angels dangling on the wings of a pin

through the heart of a butterfly /but a Bible

stopped that assassin's bullet,and we lived

to lie another day..about the times we were not saved

and suffered"the slings and arrows of outrageous Fates".

Pain is a rough bad teacher.Some Stockholm Syndrome .

Some ransom their future Experimental Cures.Even i sign up for Clinical studies,

which only later reveal side effects on liver,kidneys,spleen,rarely salutory..

So i signed up for the Pfizer Trials,and still got (mild) Covid-

even with shots and boosters and more boosters.But if it comes to virus or vaccine-

count me in for vaccines!.Even with variants.Even with Monkeypox.There will always be dis-ease

It is our choice how we react/respond.I am for Science,even when i know of

animal experiments,Nazi human experiments,and clinical studies with long-term side-effects..

SERVE ME A DOSE OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD,and i do not have to believe  anymore..

JUST TO BE IN THIS WORLD IS ENOUGH

TO FIND A SPACE FOR SANCTUARY

Wherein and whereby you can just "Be"

Even if judged"Unsatisfactory"(by THE POWERS THAT BE)

If you were to roost in Houston("Who's Town?")

you would need  a safe car,a Smartphone,toll tag

and a form of income producing that covers all bills

Little villages do not demand such basic requirements

but this seems to be becoming  a Universal Basic Requirement

Of course,you could choose to live OFF-GRID/OFF THE ROAD

In an RV or in a tent under overpasses-but that is a fragile lifestyle..

Trust there are spaces where such rules do not apply-seek them out!

Anomalous exceptions prove the rule.Find Communities that welcome -

Be a Community that welcomes..Make better rules...

COUNTRY GOSSIP

Once,we talked

We listened

Over fences

About our neighbors

They did it too

It was food and fuel

It kept us bonded

We got the news

All pre-TV

About who was in jail

Who deserved to be

We learned what was REALLY happening

in our small country/county

Small as a tongue that rattled

large as a village party call

We learned it all-via

Country gossip..

SKELETON IN WITCHES COSTUME

Around the corner-sculptures in costume

THREE WITCHES AGAINST ABBOTT

They have other signs as well-BETO FOR GOVERNOR

PROTECT TRANS STUDENTS

Republic of South Austin

allows such diversity

As well as pumpkins,skeletons flying freely

If politics were not such a horror movie

We might see the ghosts of Republicans

as skeletons floating freely.

ALL MY CATS ARE FERAL

THEY ONLY STAY FOR FOOD(&AFFECTION)

My latest and last cat was the very last cat at the Refuge

No one wanted TOOTS-she snarled and snapped and hissed and bit

anyone who dared to come close..So we said -"THAT'S OUR CAT!"

To survive in this Modern World ,all cats need be indoor/outdoor

They need to be able to survive eating grass and drinking rainwater

In times,when we are away,we leave a mountain of food(which she ignores)

Return,find her curled up on computer desk,cat content when stroked

You may have seen her on ZOOM rooms-she often flaunts her tail

when leaping away from tendentious poetics.She listens intently-

comes close to the screen when Native American flutes are playing,

walks away when words lack magic or Muse.They say the size of a cat's brain is a pea..

But a cat is whole body attentive from tip of ears to tap of tail.TOOTS is alive,alert-

a lesson for us-that we are not her "owners "as such-just her students in CAT WORLD..

SOUNDSCAPES OF SOUTH AUSTIN

WHAT ONCE WERE MOURNING DOVES

Now jackhammers and demolition trucks

Where trees stood in front of duplexes

Trees down,duplexes next.Future slums cram space

No yards,no garage,no new treescapes.

Traffic speeds through dormitory streets

Sleepy South Austin awakens early morning joggers

Dogs with girls on leashes,elderly walkers

Trees still linger green fingers across streets

Gardens still bloom down to the edges of verges

What was wondrous once remains,vestigial

Among the rattling of hammers and construction zones

We,The People of the Barrio of South Austin

Find our(temporary)homes...

MORNING RAIN

3 am this morning

Darkness and Alexa

warns of rain all day

I walk outside to check

For i love rain in all her moods

Gentle foggy mists Lake District

Grizzly drizzle Yorkshire

Cute Cornwall droplets

All her many languages

This early morning kissed our new plants

Lifted their green faces to the skies

Added moisture to the dusts of pasts

For every rain is new/original

Every drop a kiss upon the face

So i walked out like Laurie Lee

I walked out like Jack Kerouac

I walked out while drops plopped around me

And i am smiling because of it

NIGHT RAIN DIFFERENT TO MORNING RAIN

Afternoon rain different to twilight rain

Like a raga -every moment has counted raindrops

They form a Union ,and go on strike @STARBUCKS

There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and dibblers who have got the blues (OK, nothing to do with tiny marsupials who are listening to the new Bob Dylan album, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at.

Gentle foggy mists Lake District

Grizzly drizzle Yorkshire

Cute Cornwall droplets

All her many languages

This early morning kissed our new plants

Lifted their green faces to the skies

Added moisture to the dusts of pasts

For every rain is new/original

Every drop a kiss upon the face

So i walked out like Laurie Lee

I walked out like Jack Kerouac

I walked out while drops plopped around me

And i am smiling because of it
