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

People are good things but they're also a pain in the ass

The white reminds me that it isn't there

The cities are filled with filth, cockroaches, and used condoms

An ambulance drives by every 15 minutes

The owl of the night flies by me and talks to me with a hoot

I sit against a ponderosa watching the bugs drift across my knees

My back is in pain and feet are sore from being a traveling man with a pack on my back

What's in a suit or a blue collar blue life with dirt on your hands

She dropped me like a stone because I wouldn't play the game

I lay out a still life, a fruit bowl and a bottle of wine on a table

Money was the game

What kind of game is it that makes you fight for more.
