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

This magazine continues to go off on strange tangents that I never expect, but I am very happy to see it do so. What is in this issue? 120 pages of The Beatles, Craig Brown, Bristol City Council, The Scribes, Mar at the Movies, Naked Ruby, Danica Bryant, Shepherds Reign, The Gardening Club and oodles more...
And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney and Friday Night Progressive, AND Merrell Fankhauser, Mr Biffo, Puls8 Radio (cancelled), and the Real Music Club, AND Strange Fruit, there is a column from Kev Rowland, and C.J Stone but Mr Biffo, and Neil Nixon, are on hiatus. 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. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
..And the last few issues are:

What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
