Thomas Mix Poems

It's hard to walk that fence line that is life.
Fall to the left, you're living too much in the future, fall right and you're living too far in the past.
...

I had a dream about you again last night, but once again you were not there in the morning.

I would be more than willing to make my dreams breakfast, or at the very least, leave them cab fare when I went to get my early morning coffee.
...

Pull your dreams out of your pocket
Put them on the coffee table
Next to your pack of cigs, and half finished beer.
Make sure you feed the dog, yourself, and your lasting hope.
...

In the failing light of another day that this life has given to me
I take another drag of this cancer stick.
I can't argue with what I need
I need you
...

I never knew that tears could have a proof.
Make your choice not mine, no matter how badly I want it to be.
The fluorescent blue from your eyes is acid to my brain.
It rips, tears, burns, kills.
...

Rawr!

Star light, Star ache
What the hell for heaven's sake?
Hold fait by the throat and make it choke.
It starts to tell you life's scheme
...

Twisted metal
Twisted Body
Broken head
Broken ribs and back
...
