This is a mural on Burnet Road in Austin, Texas. Many times I drove by and wished I had my camera with me, and finally did. I checked the front of the building to see the business was, but it was empty.

Sounds of Silence
“Hey, Mouse! Cat got your tongue and your tail?” The Twin Speakers snickered.
Oh, joy, thought Mouse, Tweedledee and Tweedledum. “There’s nothing wrong with me; not every connection do you have to see. I’ll have you know wireless is the way to go.”
“Oh, a poet and didn’t know it!” the Twin Speakers said in unison, laughing, almost falling over.
Mouse sighed. He scooched his pointer over to the bottom right of the screen, resting it on top of the speaker icon. Two clicks later, the Twin Speakers were muted.
The sounds of silence, Mouse thought. Music to my ears.

Too Soon
It’s too soon, I said
Looking up to the clear, dry sky
The rain will come, eventually
It won’t be enough, you said
Dark brown edging ever inward
It’s too late
