Typewriter Rodeo: Still Loud

Each week, the Standard reaches out to Austin’s Typewriter Rodeo for a custom poem on Texas topics.

Still Loud

You’ll find your voice
Not by choice
But know you will stand proud

Although you find
Some peace of mind
You’re still so dang loud

Never fear
What you hear
In the whispers of the crowd

Always plan
To take a stand
Even when you’re not allowed
