If there’s one thing Texans can count on, it’s that they can’t count on creeks to flow all year. That was the inspiration for Typewriter Rodeo’s Jodi Egerton as she wrote this week’s poem.
Texas Greeks
No water
no water
no water
no water
dry
dry
dry
dry
dry
Nothing but stucks and stones and dirt
The only sound a buzzing fly
No water
no water
no water
no water
I’m wading in dust and beer
Then thunder
drizzle
rain in torrents
In a flash, enough water for a year
