Texas is big and the landscape is varied. One of the destinations getting a lot of attention this time of year is the Gulf Coast. That was Typewriter Rodeo’s Kari Anne Roy’s inspiration this week.
TEXAS COAST
The sand might not be powdery
The tar might be fresh
The drilling platforms might light up the night
The seaweed might not smell the best
But that’s OK.
It’s all OK
Texas beaches have their charm
You close your eyes
And hold your breath
Losing All sense of alarm
Because the waves still crash
The kids still play
The crabs taste mighty fine
And the sun shines all day
