THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem


Rob Ayling 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 Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearences with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)


Basejumping Bacteria: Bonnie Bassler
Single cell organisms attract attention
like active shooters only when
they become pathogens
Assuming solitariness is false-
quorum sensing applies as much to humans
as it does to ecoli and salmonella-
whether luminescent beings
or plagues penicillin resistant-
all organisms communicate!
Hence "copy-cat"killings and suicide notes-
every single cell organism seeks similar lifeforms-
vibria harveyi as much anthropological as biological
Attention to disrupting criminal /pathological patterns
via social control beats failed gun controls.Communication is key!
Community the lock!Beat bacteria with culture!Write on!
