Typewriter Rodeo: Thrive in 2025

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

Thrive in 2025

We are resolved.

of all the things we must complete

people we strive to be

promises we try to keep

heights we aspire to reach

this is the moment most vital

possibly to our survival

its the day one, the paths begun

its the plans we make

the actions we strive to take

these planning days, tell us who we are

they define the things we find hard

they cast light on our flaws

and maybe, just maybe, thats enough

reflect, make your lists and check

know you’ll too survive this

regardless of what follows

we are resolved.

we make tomorrow.
