Poetry from the book {Bunny Hop} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

Movement, doing time in the little box room

The sun burns the window shade a deep red ochre

The emptiness, the silence, the rattle of the mind

Courageous fool flying deep for that Sunday football

A teacher throws a kid against the wall

I'm sitting on the edge looking down at the world

God is nature, how empty we are without it

The fools are wrecking the planet and living in denial

The little red house on Mars with a driveway and a mailbox

The free man stands outside looking at the splendor

A dinosaur gets a boob job, goes to a bar entices the males and eats the clientele 

The cottonwood leaf rides the water, it twists and turns in the pull of the current

The crust forms on the lid of my bucket of home brew, Chris asks me if I'm going to drink that?

I sit on the roots of the cottonwood tree and watch the hawk glide the sky like the kite I used to play with

The Winter is leaving and we are moving to a different climate

Few have the patience anymore to sit and read in the easy chair

The authoritarians plot for a major power play, they are counting on us to forget that we are their slaves.
