Poem from the book {Bunny Hop} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas
Life is a mystery, life is a sham
Life is a dance of flames and arrows that the monkey man throws while you are on the road
Sometimes it's just cans and bottles and a bare butt hanging out of a pickup truck
The white trash god does not care where you go, or shed a salty tear for your existence
It is a pity I must face this human world alone
With only the stars overhead, I search for her face
A million pebbles gather upon my body and I can't push them away
A trillion thorns push into my skin
My life is lost when my lips no longer kiss her
I paint a golden person, on a golden cross beneath the crooked oak
When life is in disarray, and disappointment, you must gather all the pieces and sweep them away.

Headed for Lutsen by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

Poetry from the book {Bunny Hop} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas
I'm living on prairie skies
I'm living on prairie skies
I haven't a chance in this whole wide world
I'm living on prairie skies
For tomorrow brings another Spring and all I can do is cry
I'm living on prairie skies
I'm living on prairie skies
Where buffalo once lived and all died
I'm living on prairie skies.
