Each week, the Standard reaches out to Austin’s Typewriter Rodeo for a custom poem on Texas topics.
Patricia Lim / KUT News
False fall
The thing about Texas weather
they say
is if you don’t like it
just wait a minute
it’ll change
But I always forget this
come September
the second I see
the forecast say 80’s
I dust off my sweaters
start salivating at the thought
of soups & stews
pumpkin, pecan & cranberries
waltzing through my mind
And the next thing I know I’m sweating
through my corduroys
and once again
it’s a balmy
almost punishing
95.
Typewriter Rodeo airs each Friday on Texas Standard. Send us your ideas for a poem on Facebook or Twitter, or send us an email.
Typewriter Rodeo is also available anytime in podcast form.
