In some parts of Texas, it’s getting just cold enough to do cozy, indoor things that would be unthinkable during summer. Think warm socks, fires and a piping hot bowl of chicken noodle or pozole. That was the inspiration for this Typewriter Rodeo poem.
Soup Weather
That chill
Rolls in
The one that’s been missing
For most of the year
During the sweltering summers
And the just mildly-less-sweltering
Early fall
When you barely even want to heat
Your coffee
For fear of making the a/c
Work harder
But now
Ahhhhhh
Settle in
Slip on those fuzzy slippers
And that soft flannel
And wrap your hands around
That steaming bowl
Let the aroma take you
And fill you up
Because that’s what good soup
Can do –
Fill you
Warm you
And just soothe you
All with one
Sip.
