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.
